Let the android phone is denoted by ‘A’, iOS phone by B and windows phone by C.
According to question,
A + B + C = 36800 ----(1)
A + 2B + 3C = 78400 ----(2)
B + 3C = 56000 ----(3)
Now adding equation (1) and (3) and subtracting (2) from it
C = 36800 + 56000 – 78400 = 14400
Equating this value of C in equation (3)
B = 56000 – 3 × 14400 = 12800
Equating value of B and C in equation (1)
A = 36800 – 14400 – 12800 = 9600
The price of android phone is Rs. 9600
