38. Sanjay bought 5 notebooks and 2 pens for ₹ 120. He told to guess the cost of each notebook and pen to
his friends Mohan and Anil. Sanjay had given the clue that both the costs are positive integers and
divisible by 5 such that the cost of a notebook is greater than that of a pen.

Now, Mohan and Anil tried to guess. Mohan said that price of each notebook could be ₹ 18. Then five
notebooks would cost ₹ 90, the two pens would cost ₹ 90, the two pens would cost ₹ 30 and each pen could
be for ₹ 15. Anil felt that ₹ 18 for one notebook was too little. It should be at least ₹ 20. Then the price of
each pen would also be ₹ 10.

and cost of one pen as ₹ 𝑦.
(ii) Which is the solution of the equations formed in (i)?

(iii) (a) If the cost of one notebook is twice the cost of one pen, then find the cost of one pen?
OR
(b) If the cost of one notebook is ₹ 15 and the cost of one pen is ₹ 10, then find the total amount.
