School, Sector 5, Gurgaon. Once the teacher told Peter to think a number x and to Kevin to
think another number y so that the difference of the numbers is 10(x>y).Now the teacher
asked James to add double of Peter's number and that three times of Kevin's number, the
total was found 120 .Reeta just entered in the class, she did not know any number. The
teacher said Reeta to form the 1st equation with two variables x and y. Now Veena just
entered the class so the teacher told her to form 2nd equation with two variables x and y.

Ques 25 Deepak bought 3 notebooks and 2 pens for ₹ 80. His friend Ram said that price of
each notebook could be 25. Then three notebooks would cost 75, the two pens would cost 5
and each pen could be for 2.50. Another friend Ajay felt that 2.50 for one pen was too little. It
should be at least 16. Then the price of each notebook would also be 16. Sonu also bought the
same types of notebooks and pens as Aditya. He paid 110 for 4 notebooks and 3 pens. Later,
Deepak guess the cost of one pen is 10 and Sonu guess the cost of one notebook is 30.(Take
cost of one notebook as x and cost of one pen as y.)
