Answer:

Cost of one chair  = Rs . 150

Cost of one table = Rs. 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of chairs denote x and no of tables denote y

4x + 3y = 2100 --------------------(i)

5x +2y = 1750 ------------------(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 2 and (ii) by (-3) and now y will be eliminated.

(i)*2        8x + 6y =  4200

(ii)*(-3)   -15x - 6y = - 5250    {Now, add}

               - 7x     = - 1050

x = -1050/-7

x = Rs. 150

Plug in the value of x inn equation (i)

4*150 + 3y = 2100

600 + 3y = 2100

3y = 2100 - 600

3y = 1500

y= 1500/3

y =Rs 500
