Important word problems on Linear Equations in two variables 4

Question for practice
The following questions are more helpful for class tenth students for all boards.

*Questions 4.  I buy two tables for Rs. 1350. I sell one so as to lose 6% and the other so as to gain (7.5)%. On the whole I neither lose nor gain. What did each table cost?

    1. let the CP of 1st table be x and of second be y.
      so, x+y = 1350 rs. (1)

      x-6x/100 + y+7.5y/100 = 1350
      => 47x/50 + 43y/100 = 1350
      => 188x + 215y = 270000 (2)

      from (1) and (2) , by elimination
      x = 750 rs.
      therefore, y = 600rs
      HENCE, the cost of two tables was rs.750 and rs.600 resp

  2. let the cp of 1 table be x and the cost of second table be y.
    so,x+y=1350(1)
    thererfore,
    x-6x/100+y+7.5y/100=1350
    47x/50+43y/100=1350
    188x+215y=270000(2)
    from (1) and (2) by elimination we get
    x=750
    y=600
    therefore,the cost of one table is Rs.750 and the cost of other table is Rs.600

  3. Ans. let cost price of one table = Rs.x
    let cost price of other table = Rs.y
    x+y = 1350 .....(1)
    x-6/100 x + y+7.5/100 y =1350
    or 100x-6x/100 + 100y+7.5y/100 =1350
    or 94x-107.5y = 135000 .....(2)
    by elimination from (1) and (2),
    y = 600
    x = 750
    therefore, cost of one table is rs.750
    cost of other table is rs.600

  4. let the Cost Prize of 1st table be x and of second table be y.
    (1).... x+y = 1350 rs.

    x-6x/100 + y+7.5y/100 = 1350
    => 47x/50 + 43y/100 = 1350
    (2)...... 188x + 215y = 270000

    by elimination from (1) and (2) ,
    x = 750 rs.
    therefore y = 600rs
    HENCE, the cost of two tables was rs.750 and rs.600

  5. Cost of 1st table = x
    Cost of 2nd table = y
    x+y = Rs. 1350 ...i
    x-6x/100 + y+75y/1000 = 1350
    => 47x/50 + 43y/100 = 1350
    => 188x + 215y = 270000 ...ii
    from i and ii
    x = Rs 750
    =>y = Rs 600
