Rajan and Manu went to a market. Rajan bought 3 erasers and 5 pens for Rs 105 and Manu bought 4 erasers and 6 pens for Rs 130. What is the price of one eraser?
Let price of 1 eraser = Rs. $$x$$ and price of 1 pen = Rs. $$y$$
According to ques, => $$3x+5y=105$$ ---------------(i)
and $$4x+6y=130$$
$$\equiv2x+3y=65$$ ------------(ii)
Now, multiplying equation (i) by 2 and equation (ii) by 3 and subtracting them : $$2(i)-3(ii)$$
=> $$10y-9y=210-195$$
=> $$y=15$$
Substituting it in equation (ii), we get : $$2x+3(15)=65$$
=> $$2x=65-45=20$$
=> $$x=\frac{20}{2}=10$$
Thus, price of 1 eraser is Rs. 10
