Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query :

We have,cost of 1 mango = Rs xCost of 1 orange = Rs yNow, according to first condition,2x = 3y + 1⇒2x - 3y = 1     
1Now, according to second condition,3y = x + 1⇒x - 3y = -1     
2

Hope this would clear your doubt !

Do let us know in case of any further concerns
