Let the cost of $1$ pencil be $x$ and the cost of $1$ chocolate be $y$ $2x + 3y = 11$ (1 Mark) $x + 2y = 7$ (1 Mark) for correct graph of equation $2x + 3y = 11$ (1 Mark) for correct graph of equation $x + 2y = 7$ (1 Mark) $x=1, x=3$ (1/2+1/2 Mark) $\therefore$ Cost of $1$ pencil = ₹ $1$ and Cost of $1$ chocolate = ₹ $3$
