Detailed Solution

Concept:
According to the problem, the cost of 2 kg of apples and 1 kg of grapes per day
must inevitably be rupees. 160. The price of 4 kg of apples and 2 kg of grapes after a month is 300 rupees. This particular situation needs to be represented algebraically and geometrically.
Suppose the cost of 1 kg of apples is "x" and the cost of 1 kg of grapes is "y". He said the cost of 2 kg of apples and 1 kg of grapes in a day would inevitably be rupees. 160 Therefore, we get

--- (1) .
We also know that the cost of 4 kg of apples and 2 kg of grapes is 300 rupees. Therefore,

--- (2) .
To find the cost of apples and grapes, you need to solve the simultaneous linear equations shown below.

--- (3) .

--- (4) .
Find the point in equation (3) . Therefore,

Find the point in equation (4) . Therefore
