Vedclass · Answer

Let the cost price of table be $Rs.$ $t$ and that of chair $Rs$ $c.$

Then $15 \%$ of $t-7 \frac{1}{2} \%$ of $c=50$

i.e. $15 t-7 \frac{1}{2} c=5000$ $...(1)$

$-7 \frac{1}{2} t+15 c=0$ $...(2)$

Solving Eqs. $(1)$ and $(2),$ we get

$c=\frac{Rs. 2000}{9}$ and $t=\frac{Rs. 4000}{9}$
