The cost of a monitor is 20% more than the cost of a chair, a CPU costs Rs. 1500 more than a table and the keyboard costs 4 times a mouse. The cost of a mouse is Rs. 1000.

1. Find the cost of the computer system, if the cost of a keyboard and a mouse increases by 20% and 15% respectively,(considering the same cost of CPU and monitor).?
   Rs.28,550
   Rs.30,670
   Rs.21,460
   Rs.45,000
   Rs.10,452
   Option B
   20% of Keyboard = 4000*(120/100) = Rs.4800
   15% of Mouse= 1000*(115/100) = Rs.1150
   CPU = Rs.15,000 Monitor = Rs.9,720
   Addition we get the cost of computer system = Rs.30,670

    

2. It was initially decided that 4 air conditioners will be installed but later only 3 air conditioners and a fan were installed. If the cost of a fan is 1/10 of the cost of an air conditioner, what was the total cost incurred?

   Rs.1,25,550
   Rs.2,30,450
   Option D
   Cost of a fan = 40500/10 = Rs.4050
