3 chairs and 2 tables cost Rs. 700 and 5 chairs and 3 tables cost Rs. ...
Understanding the Problem
We need to find the cost of 1 chair and 2 tables based on the given information about the costs of chairs and tables.
Given Equations
1. 3 chairs + 2 tables = Rs. 700
2. 5 chairs + 3 tables = Rs. 1100
Setting Up the Variables
Let:
- C = Cost of 1 chair
- T = Cost of 1 table
Formulating the Equations
From the first equation:
3C + 2T = 700 (Equation 1)
From the second equation:
5C + 3T = 1100 (Equation 2)
Solving the Equations
We can solve these two equations simultaneously.
1. Multiply Equation 1 by 3:
9C + 6T = 2100 (Equation 3)
2. Multiply Equation 2 by 2:
10C + 6T = 2200 (Equation 4)
Now, subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4:
(10C + 6T) - (9C + 6T) = 2200 - 2100
This simplifies to:
C = 100
Now substitute C = 100 back into Equation 1 to find T:
3(100) + 2T = 700
300 + 2T = 700
2T = 400
T = 200
Finding the Required Cost
Now we have:
C = Rs. 100 (cost of 1 chair)
T = Rs. 200 (cost of 1 table)
To find the cost of 1 chair and 2 tables:
Cost = C + 2T
= 100 + 2(200)
= 100 + 400
= Rs. 500
Conclusion
The cost of 1 chair and 2 tables is Rs. 500, which corresponds to option ‘C’.

3 chairs and 2 tables cost Rs. 700 and 5 chairs and 3 tables cost Rs. ...
Given:
3 chairs and 2 tables cost Rs. 700
5 chairs and 3 tables cost Rs. 1100
Calculation:
Let the cost of 1 chair be Rs. x and 1 table be Rs. y
Now, According to the question
3x + 2y = 700      ----(1)
5x + 3y = 1100      ----(2)
By solving (1) and (2), we get 
x = 100 and y = 200
Now, we have to find the cost of 1 chair and 2 tables
∴ x + 2y = 100 + 400 = Rs. 500

Question is based on the followingpassage.This passage is adapted from William Maxwell, The Folded Leaf. ©1959 by William Maxwell. Originally published in 1945.The Alcazar Restaurant was on Sheridan Roadnear Devon Avenue. It was long and narrow, withtables for two along the walls and tables for fourdown the middle. The decoration was art moderne,5 except for the series of murals depicting the fourseasons, and the sick ferns in the front window.Lymie sat down at the second table from the cashregister, and ordered his dinner. The history book,which he propped against the catsup and the glass10 sugar bowl, had been used by others before him.Blank pages front and back were filled in with maps,drawings, dates, comic cartoons, and organs of thebody; also with names and messages no longer clearand never absolutely legible. On nearly every other15 page there was some marginal notation, either in inkor in very hard pencil. And unless someone hadupset a glass of water, the marks on page 177 werefrom tears.While Lymie read about the Peace of Paris, signed20 on the thirtieth of May, 1814, between France andthe Allied powers, his right hand managed again andagain to bring food up to his mouth. Sometimes hechewed, sometimes he swallowed whole the food thathe had no idea he was eating. The Congress of25 Vienna met, with some allowance for delays, early inNovember of the same year, and all the powersengaged in the war on either side sentplenipotentiaries. It was by far the most splendid andimportant assembly ever convoked to discuss and30 determine the affairs of Europe. The Emperor ofRussia, the King of Prussia, the Kings of Bavaria,Denmark, and Wurttemberg, all were present inperson at the court of the Emperor Francis I in theAustrian capital. When Lymie put down his fork and35 began to count them off, one by one, on the fingersof his left hand, the waitress, whose name was Irma,thought he was through eating and tried to take hisplate away. He stopped her. Prince Metternich (hisright thum b) presided over the Congress, and40 Prince Talleyrand (the index finger) representedFrance.A party of four, two men and two women, cameinto the restaurant, all talking at once, and tookpossession of the center table nearest Lymie.45 The women had shingled hair and short tight skirtswhich exposed the underside of their knees whenthey sat down. One of the women had the face of ayoung boy but disguised by one trick or another(rouge, lipstick, powder, wet bangs plastered against50 the high forehead, and a pair of long pendentearrings) to look like a woman of thirty-five, whichas a matter of fact she was. The men were older. Theylaughed more than there seemed any occasion for,while they were deciding between soup and shrimp55 cocktail, and their laughter was too loud. But it wasthe women’s voices, the terrible not quite sober pitchof the women’s voices which caused Lymie to skimover two whole pages without knowing what was onthem. Fortunately he realized this and went back.60 Otherwise he might never have known about thesecret treaty concluded between England, France,and Austria, when the pretensions of Prussia andRussia, acting in concert, seemed to threaten arenewal of the attack. The results of the Congress65were stated clearly at the bottom of page 67 and atthe top of page 68, but before Lymie got halfwaythrough them, a coat that he recognized as hisfather’s was hung on the hook next to his chair.Lymie closed the book and said, “I didn’t think you70 were coming.”Time is probably no more unkind to sportingcharacters than it is to other people, but physicaldecay unsustained by respectability is somehow morenoticeable. Mr. Peters’ hair was turning gray and his75 scalp showed through on top. He had lost weightalso; he no longer filled out his clothes the way heused to. His color was poor, and the flower haddisappeared from his buttonhole. In its place was anAmerican Legion button.80 Apparently he himself was not aware that therehad been any change. He straightened his tieself-consciously and when Irma handed him a menu,he gestured with it so that the two women at the nexttable would notice the diamond ring on the fourth85 finger of his right hand. Both of these things, andalso the fact that his hands showed signs of themanicurist, one can blame on the young man whohad his picture taken with a derby hat on the back ofhis head, and also sitting with a girl in the curve of90 the moon. The young man had never for one seconddeserted Mr. Peters. He was always there, tugging atMr. Peters’ elbow, making him do things that werenot becoming in a man of forty-five.Q.Which choice best supports the conclusion that Mr. Peters wants to attract attention?
