C.P. of 1 bucket =x C.P. of 1 mug=y $\therefore$ 8x+5y=92 .......(i) 5x+8y=77 .......(ii) By using equation (i)$\times 5 - equation (ii)\times 8$ 40x+25y-40x-64y=460-616 $\Rightarrow$ -39y=-156 $\Rightarrow$ y=4 From equation (i), 8x+20=92 $\Rightarrow$ 8x=92-20=72 $\Rightarrow$ x=9 $\therefore$ C.P. of 2 mugs and 3 buckets $=2\times 4+3\times 9$ =8+27=35 Rs.
