Given:
-
Cost of 12 chairs and 15 tables = Rs 58968
-
We need to find the cost of 4 chairs and 5 tables.
Concept Used:
The cost of chairs and tables is proportional to their quantities.
Therefore, we can calculate the cost of 1 chair and 1 table by dividing the total cost by the total quantities.
Then, multiply by the required quantities to find the answer.
Calculation:
Total cost = Cost of 12 chairs + Cost of 15 tables
Total items = 12 chairs + 15 tables = 27
Cost per item = Rs 58968 / 27
⇒ Cost per item = Rs 2184
Now, for 4 chairs and 5 tables:
Required items = 4 + 5 = 9 items
Total cost = 9 × Rs 2184
⇒ Total cost = Rs 19656
Conclusion:
∴ The cost of 4 chairs and 5 tables is Rs 19656.
