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.
