Three cups of ice cream, two burgers and four soft drinks together cost Rs. 128. Two cups of ice cream, one burger and two soft drinks together cost Rs. 74. What is the cost of five burgers and ten soft drinks? Correct Answer Rs. 170

Let cost of each ice cream, burger and soft drink is x, y and z respectively.

3x + 2y + 4z = 128      ---- (i)

2x + y + 2z = 74      ---- (ii)

Multiply 3 × (ii) and 2 × (i), we get

6x + 3y + 6z = 222      ----(iii)

6x + 4y + 8z = 256      ----(iv)

substract equation (iv) to equation (iii)

y + 2z = 34

Multiply the above equation by 5 

we get,

5 (y + 2z) = 5 × 34

5y + 10z = 170 

∴ cost of 5 burgers and 10 soft drinks = 34 × 5 = 170
