A Bottle and its cork together costs Rs.1.10 , and the bottle costs Re.1 more than its cork. What is the price of the bottle?

• let the price of bottle and cork are x and y respectively
  then x+y=1.10
  and x=y+1
  so x is (1.10+1)/2=1.05

• There could be some error in your typing or
  in print of book, please check or justify
  Possible combinations are
  A: 109+1=110_B:108+2=110_C:107+3=110
  D:106+4=110_E:105+5=110_F:104+6=110
  G:103+7=110_H:102+8=110_I:101+9=110
  J:100+10=110
  Between A to J all combinations satisfy one
  condition (total cost 110 paise)
  Only J satisfies second condition (bottle cost
  100 paise MORE THAN ITS CORK)
  In case of your mentioned answer (105 paise),
  if bottle cost is 105, then cork cost got to be 5
  to satisfy condition (total cost 110 paise) this
  violates other condition (bottle cost 100 more)

• The cost of the bottle is Re.1/- and that of the cork is 10 P Then the bottle would cost only 90 P more than the cork. so the answer will 105 Paise.
