Very silly question.
Try to improve your imagination and thought process.
Solution: Let the cost of one pencil = Rs. {tex}\large x{/tex}

         and Let the cost of one pen = Rs. {tex}\large y{/tex}

Now, the first sentence: The cost of pencil is half of the cost of pen {tex}\huge \implies x=\frac y2; \space \space \space\implies y=2x ; \space \space \space\implies 2x-y=0{/tex}    

 Now, the second sentence: If the cost of two pencils and one pen is Rs. 20 {tex}\huge \implies 2x+y=20{/tex}

Adding both the equations, we get: {tex}\huge \implies 4x=20​​​​ \space;\space\space \boxed {x=5} {/tex}

Putting the value of "x" in any of the two equation gives the value of "y", we get: {tex}\huge \implies y=2x​​​​ \space;\space\space y=2\times5 \space;\space\space \boxed {y=10} {/tex}
