    A)  Rs. 600

    B)  Rs. 1000

    C)  Rs. 1200

    D)  Rs. 1800

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the cost of table \[=\text{ Rs}\text{. }7x\] and the cost of chair \[=\text{Rs}\text{. }5x\] According to question, \[7x=480+5x\Rightarrow 7x-5x=480\] \[\Rightarrow 2x=480\Rightarrow x=\frac{480}{2}=240\] \[\therefore \] Cost of chair\[=\text{Rs}\text{. }(5\times 240)=\text{Rs}\text{. }1200\]
