Jay and Vijay spent an equal amount of money to buy some pens and special pencils of the same quality from the same store. If Jay bought 3 pens and 5 pencils, and Vijay bought 2 pens and 7 pencils, then which one of the following is correct ?
A pencil costs more than a pen.
The price of a pencil is equal to that of a pen
The price of a pen is two times the price of a pencil
The price of a pen is three times the price of a pencil
Let the price of a pen and a pencil be Rs. a, and Rs. b respectively. As per the question, 3a + 5b = 2a + 7b Or a = 2b So, price of a pen is twice as that of a pencil.
