    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost of one cup and one plate be Rs. x and Rs. y, respectively.

    ATQ;

    8x+5y=260......(I)

    6x+4y=200......(II)

    Multiply Equation (II) by 5 and Equation (I) by 4, then subtract:

    30x+20y−32x−20y=1000−1040

    −2x=−40

    x=20

    Cost of 9 cups = 9×20=180 Rs.
