Question

The cost of 12 note-books and 16 pens is Rs. 852. What is the cost of 9 note-books and 12 pens?

  • Rs. 743
  • Rs. 639
  • Rs. 567
  • Cannot be determined
  • None of these
Answer- B

Let the CP of 1 note book = Rs. X and CP of 1 pen = Rs. Y

According to the question, 12X + 16Y = 852

Dividing both sides by 4, 3X + 4Y = 213

=>           3(3X+4Y) = 3 x 213

=>           9X + 12Y = 639

Hence the cost of 9 note books and 12 pens is 639.
