A.

₹202

B.

₹198

C.

₹201

D.

₹206

Correct option is A

Given:

The cost of 4 pens and 5 pencils is ₹193.

The cost of 3 pens and 6 pencils is ₹165.

We need to find the cost of 4 pens and 6 pencils.

Solution:

Let the cost of one pen be p and the cost of one pencil be q.

From the condition the given equation

4p + 5q = 193......... (1)

3p + 6q = 165 ........(2)

subtracting  4×\times(2) - 3×\times(1) 

12p+24q=+66012p15q=5799q=81 q=912p + 24q =+ 660 \\ \underline{-12p - 15q = -579} \\ 9q = 81 \\ \ \\ q = 9​​

then p = 37 

Now, 

Cost of 4 pens and 6 pencils.

= 4p + 6q = 4(37) + 6(9) = 148 + 54 = 202

The cost of 4 pens and 6 pencils is ₹202
