This time he paid Rs. 1,10,000 in total. What amount he should pay if he purchase 1 Mobile phone and 1 Laptop only and pays full amount for both ? Correct Answer Rs. 55,000
Given:
First purchase:
Purchased 2 mobile phones and 1 laptop
Paid full amount of the Mobile phones but only one-third of the amount of the Laptop
Paid Rs. 60,000 in total
Second purchase:
Purchased 3 Mobile phones and 2 Laptops
Paid full amount of the Laptops but only two-third of the amount of the Mobile phones
Paid Rs. 1,10,000 in total
Calculation:
Let 'x' be the price of 1 Mobile phone and 'y' be the price of 1 Laptop
For the First purchase,
2x + (y/3) = 60,000
⇒ 6x + y = 1,80,000 ----(1)
For Second purchase,
3x × (2/3) + 2y = 1,10,000
⇒ 2x + 2y = 1,10,000
On multiplying by 3
⇒ 6x + 6y = 3,30,000 ----(2)
Equation (2) - (1)
⇒ 5y = 1,50,000
∴ y = 30,000
From equation (1), we know
6x + y = 1,80,000
⇒ 6x = 1,80,000 - 30,000 = 1,50,000
⇒ x = 25,000
Now,
x + y = 25,000 + 30,000 = 55,000
∴ Amount he should pay if he purchase 1 Mobile phone and 1 Laptop only and pays full amount for both = Rs. 55,000
