Let cost of one pen = ₹$x$ and one pencil = ₹$y$
Given:
$6x + 19y = 275$
After changes:
Pen = $(x - 7)$, Pencil = $(y + 7)$
$15(x - 7) + 4(y + 7) = 132$
$15x - 105 + 4y + 28 = 132$
$15x + 4y - 77 = 132$
$15x + 4y = 209$
Now solve:
$6x + 19y = 275$
$15x + 4y = 209$
Multiply first equation by 5:
$30x + 95y = 1375$
Multiply second by 2:
$30x + 8y = 418$
Subtract:
$87y = 957 \Rightarrow y = 11$
Put in first:
$6x + 19(11) = 275$
$6x + 209 = 275$
$6x = 66 \Rightarrow x = 11$
Now required:
$6x + 2y = 6(11) + 2(11) = 66 + 22 = 88$
Correct Answer: ₹88
