    Question

    The cost of 4 pens and 5 pencils is ₹193 and the cost of 3 pens and 6 pencils ₹165. The cost of 4 pens and 6 pencils is:

    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
