(N/A) Let the cost of $1\, kg$ of apples be ₹ $x$ and the cost of $1\, kg$ of grapes be ₹ $y$.
According to the question,the algebraic representation is:
$2x + y = 160$
$4x + 2y = 300$
For the equation $2x + y = 160$,we have $y = 160 - 2x$. The solution table is:
$x$$50$$60$$70$
$y$$60$$40$$20$

For the equation $4x + 2y = 300$,we have $y = \frac{300 - 4x}{2} = 150 - 2x$. The solution table is:
$x$$70$$80$$75$
$y$$10$$-10$$0$

The graphical representation shows two parallel lines,indicating that the system has no solution.
