Question
A ball pen costs Rs 3.50 more than pencil. Adding 3 ball pens and 2 pencils sum up to Rs 13. Taking y and z as costs of ball pen and pencil respectively. Write down 2 simultaneous equations in terms of y and z which satisfy the above statement. Find out the values of y and z.
Hint:
Taking y and z as costs of ball pen and pencil respectively
A ball pen costs Rs 3.50 more than pencil (i.e y = z + 3.50)
Adding 3 ball pens and 2 pencils sum up to Rs 13.(i.e 3y + 2z = 13)
The correct answer is: 4.00 rs
Ans :- cost ball pen = 4.00 rs and cost of pencil = 0.50 rs
Explanation :-
Taking y and z as costs of ball pen and pencil respectively
L.e Cost of ball pen = y and cost of pencil = z
Step 1:- form the system of linear equations using the given condition
A ball pen costs Rs 3.50 more than pencil
so, y = z + 3.50 —- Eq1
Adding 3 ball pens and 2 pencils sum up to Rs 13.
So, 3y + 2z = 13 —- Eq2
We got Eq1 and Eq2 are simultaneous equations .
Step 2:- substitute the Eq1 in Eq2.
∴ z = 0.50
Step 3:-substitute the value of z in Eq1 to get the value of y
∴ y = 4.00
∴ z = 0.50 rs is the cost of pencil and y = 4.00 rs is the cost of ball pen.

Note:
We do not have the exact inequalities in the option, so we choose the one from the options which is the closest approximation of the inequalities that we have calculated. There are a couple of formulas and concepts used here, such as the equation of a line passing through two points and the concept that the region below a line is given by replacing the equality sign with less than or equal to in the standard form of the equation and vice versa.
