Rehman does not like an Android phone, so he buys only 1 iOS phone and 3 windows phones for Rs. 56,000. What is the price of an Android phone? Correct Answer Rs. 9,600

Let an android phone be 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 an android phone is Rs 9600
