Solution

Share

Let price of tea be t, coffee be c and cold drink be d.

Statement 1: c=t+5, we cannot infer value of t from this information

Statement 2: c=d-5 and d=3t, we cannot infer the value of t from this information

Using the statements together, c=t+5 and c=3t-5.

=>t+5=3t-5

=>2t=10

=> t=5

Hence, we can answer the questions using both statements together.
