Question:

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?

Options:

₹20

₹28

₹18

₹15

Correct Answer:

₹15

Explanation:

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
