Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
10 chairs and 5 tables were purchased for Rs. 17,500.
Calculation:
Let the average cost of a table be x.
10 chairs cost = 10 x 1000 = Rs. 10,000
5 tables cost = 5x
Total cost = 10,000 + 5x = 17,500
Subtracting 10,000 from both sides, we get:
5x = 7,500
x = 1,500
Therefore, the average cost of a table is Rs. 1,500.
