Uncle H and aunt C go to the bazaar.Uncle H purchases a hat and suit for
Rs.15.Aunt C's hat cost the same as uncle H's suit.For the remaining amount
she purchased a dress and commented that her dress costed Rs 1 less than his
suit.Further she added that if her hat had cost 1 and a 1/2 times his hat's
cost then both of them would have spent equally.Uncle H asked "Then what
would've my hat costed?

• let uncle H's hat and suit as Hh and Hs respectively. And aunt C's hat and dress as Ch and Cd.
  According the problem, Hh+Hs=15----> (1) and Ch=Hs----->(2).
  Remaining amount=15-Ch=Cd,
  Then 15-Ch=Cd=Hs-1----->(3),
  After solving (1),(2)&(3),
  Hh=7, Hs=8=Ch and Cd=7.
  Therefore uncle H's hat cost is RS7.
