A man buys 2 apples and 3 kiwi fruits for ₹37. If he buys 4 apples and 5 kiwi fruits for ₹67, then what will be the total cost of 1 apple and 1 kiwi fruit?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Let the price of 1 apple be m
Let the price of 1 Kiwi be n
According to question
Price of 2 apples and 3 kiwi
2m + 3n = Rs.37 ----(1)
Price of 4 Apples and 5 Kiwi
4m + 5n = Rs.67 ----(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 2 and then subtract it from equation (2), we get
n = Rs.7
put the value of n in equation (1), we get
2m = 37- 21
m = Rs.8
∴ price of 1 apple and 1 kiwi
8 + 7 = Rs.15
