Linear Equations In Two Variables

(1) Deepak bought 3 notebooks and 2 pens for Rs. 80. His friend Ram said that the price of each
notebook could be Rs. 25. Then three notebooks would cost Rs.75, the two pens would cost Rs.5
and each pen could be for Rs. 2.50. Another friend Ajay felt that Rs. 2.50 for one pen was too
little. It should be at least Rs. 16. Then the price of each notebook would also be Rs.16. Lohith
also bought the same types of notebooks and pens as Aditya. He paid 110 for 4 notebooks and
