1. Average cost of 5 apples and 4 mangoes is Rs. 36. The average cost of 7 apples and 8 mangoes is Rs. 48. Find the total cost of 24 apples and 24 mangoes.
Total cost = 36 × 9 = 324
Average cost of 7 apples and 8 mangoes = 48
Total cost = 48 × 15 = 720
Total cost of 12 apples and 12 mangoes = 324 + 720 = 1044
Therefore, cost of 24 apples and 24 mangoes = 1044 × 2 = 2088
Solution:
Average cost of 5 apples and 4 mangoes = Rs. 36Total cost = 36 × 9 = 324
