let cost(in RS) of one pencil = x
and cost (in RS) of one pen = y
Therefore , according to question
5x+7y = 50 ........ (1)
7x + 5y = 46 .........(2)
Multiply equation 1 by 7 and equation by 5 we get
7(5x+7y)= 7*50
35x +49y = 350 .......(3)
and
5(7x +5y) = 5*46
35x +25y = 230 ....... (4)
Subtract equation 4 from equation 3 , we get
35x + 49y - 35x - 25y = 350 -230
49y -25y = 120
24y = 120
y = 120 /24
y= 5
Substitute y=5 in equation 1 , we get
5x + 7*5 =50
5x+35 =50
5x = 50 - 35
5x =15
x= 15/5
x=3
Hence Cost of One Pencil = x =3
Cost of One Pen =y =5
