The cost of 2 kg apples and 1 kg of grapes on a day was found to be ₹ 320. The cost of 4 kg apples and 2 kg grapes was found to be ₹ 600. If cost of 1 kg of apples and 1 kg of grapes is ₹ x and ₹ y respectively, represent the given situation algebraically as a system of equations and check whether the system so obtained is consistent or not.

Solve for x and y : √2 x + √3 y = 5 and √3 x − √8 y = −√6

A school is organizing a grand cultural event to show the talent of its students. To accommodate the guests, the school plans to rent chairs and tables from a local supplier.
