Correct Answer: Rs. 427
Solution : Let the cost of one bread be b and the cost of one packet of juice be j. The cost of 3 breads and 1 packet of juice. ⇒ 3b + j = 323.50---(1) The cost of 5 breads and 1 packet of juice. ⇒ 5b + j = 433.50---(2) Subtracting the first equation from the second, ⇒ 2b = 433.50 - 323.50 = 110 ⇒ b = $\frac{110}{2}$ = 55 Substituting b = 55 into the first equation, ⇒ 3 × 55 + j = 323.50 ⇒ j = 323.50 - 165 = 158.50 So, the cost of one bread is Rs. 55 and the cost of one packet of juice is Rs. 158.50. Therefore, the cost of 2 breads and 2 packets of juice is, ⇒ 2b + 2j = 2 × 55 + 2 × 158.50 = 110 + 317 = 427 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 427.
