The picture is Rs 1000
.
If ashtray = Rs x, then picture = 5x, chair = 30x and table is 4*30=120x
The lot is then 1+5+30+120 = 156x
Thus, the ashtray is 31200 / 156 = Rs 200.
And the picture is Rs 1000

The picture is Rs 1000
.
If ashtray = Rs x, then picture = 5x, chair = 30x and table is 4*30=120x
The lot is then 1x+5x+30x+120x = 156x
Thus, the ashtray is 31200 / 156 = Rs 200.
And the picture is =5*200=Rs.1000
