Mr T has a wrong weighing pan One arm is lengthier thanother 1 kilogram on left balances 8 melons on

1kg + Extra-Weight = 8 melons ---(1)
and
2 melons + Extra-Weight = 1kg
can also be written as
1kg - Extra-Weight = 2 melons ---(2)
solving (1) and (2)
2kg = 10 melons => 1 melon 200gms

ans is rs250 each melon bcoz
left:right
1000:8x=2x:1000
which gives x=250
where x is wt of 1 melon

let the left pan weight be x ,right pan weight be y,melon weight be z
then, x+1=y+8z,
x+2z=y+1
hence 1-2z=8z-1
10z=2
z= 0.2 kg =200 grams

200 gm
8mellons =1600 gm
2 mellons =400 gm
here
1000 gm + 600gm= 1600 gm(8 mellons) and 600gm + 400gm(2 mellons) = 1kg

8x=1000g+2x
8x-2x=1000g
6x=1000g
So x=1000/6g
X=166.67g
