Question

The cost of a table is double the cost of a chair and the cost of a cupboard is five times the cost of a table. What is the ratio of the cost of the chair table and the cupboard? If the cost of a table is greater than that of a chair by rupees 2000 find the cost of a chair, table and the cupboard.​

Answer 1

Table 2: 1 Chair

Cupboard 5: 1 Table

Cupboard 10: 1 Chair

The table costs 4,000 rupees, the chair 2,000 rupees, and the cupboard costs 20,000 rupees.

Explanation:

Since the cost of a table is double the cost of a chair and the cost of a cupboard is five times the cost of a table, to determine what is the ratio of the cost of the chair, the table and the cupboard the following calculations must be done:

Table 2: 1 Chair

Cupboard 5: 1 Table

5x2 = 10

Cupboard 10: 1 Chair

In turn, if the cost of a table is greater than that of a chair by 2000 rupees, to find the cost of a chair, table and the cupboard, the following calculations must be performed:

Table 2: 1 Chair

2000 x 2 = 4,000

Thus, the table costs 4,000 rupees and the chair 2,000 rupees.

4000 x 5 = 20,000

In turn, the cupboard costs 20,000 rupees.
