Final answer:
To find the cost of one chair, the price of the table (Rs 6,000) is subtracted from the total set cost (Rs 16,000), leaving Rs 10,000, which is then divided by the number of chairs (4) to arrive at Rs 2,500 per chair.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume the cost of a chair is x. Since a set of a table and four chairs costs Rs 16,000 and the price of a table is Rs 6000, we can set up an equation to find the cost of a chair.
The equation is:
6000 + 4x = 16000
First, we need to isolate x by subtracting 6000 from both sides:
4x = 10000
Then, we divide both sides by 4 to find the value of x:
x = 2500
Therefore, the cost of a chair is Rs 2500.
