If a lemon and apple together costs Rs. 12, a tomato and lemon cost Rs.4 and an apple cost of Rs.8 more than a tomato or a lemon, then which of the following can be the price of lemon?
Option
a) Rs.2
b) Rs.4
c) Rs.1
d) Rs.3

• As given,
  L+A=12 .....(1)
  L+T=4 .......(2)
  A=8+L
  or L-A=-8 ......(3)
  A=8+T .......(4)
  
  Simply adding eq. 1 and 3
  We get..
  
  2L=4
  So, L=2

• l+a=12;;;_1eq t+l=4;_2eq
  a=8+l;;;_3eq
  from 1 and 3
  l=2

• l+a=12
  t+l=4
  a=t+8 or a=l+8
  we can take l+a=12
  l+(l+8)=12
  2l=12-8=4
  2l=4
  so, l=2

• check by options.option a is 2,if price of lemon is 2,then it satisfies conditions of question,so price of apple is 8+2,so lemon and apple cost 12,and tomato lemon cost 4,apple is 8 more than lemon or tamato

• lem+App=12-----1
  tom+lem=4-------2
  app=lem+8------3
  sub 3 in 1
  lem+(lem+8)=12
  lem=2
  option a

• a)2 ans
  l+a=12---- (1)
  t+l=4-----(2)
  a=8+l(apple is 8 more than lemon)--(3)
  now (3) in (1) and solving it with (1)And (2)
  we get 2t=4 => t=2
  substituting t=2 in (1) we get lemon =2

• obviously ans is a.put the answers in the equation:
  lemon+apple=12;
  lemon+tomato=4;
  only Rs.2 satisfies this two equations.

• L+A=12
  T+L=4
  A=T+8=L+8
  
  => L+L+8=12
  On solving for L
  =>L=2 (ANS)

• lemon + apple = 12rs
  tomato + lemon = 4rs
  then apple = 8+tomato or 8+lemon
  by solving we get
  l(8+l)= 12
  2l = 4
  l = 2

• Given that,
  Lemon+apple=12---------1
  tomato+lemon=4---------2
  condition is apple=tomato+8---------3
  or
  apple=Lemon+8---------4
  therefore,
  substitute 4 in 1
  lemon+lemon+8=12
  2*lemon=12-8
  2*lemon=4
  lemon=4/2
  lemon=2
