Jay and Vijay spent an equal amount of money to buy some pens and special pencils of the same quality from the same store. If Jay bought 3 pens and 5 pencils, and Vijay bought 2 pens and 7 pencils, then which one of the following is correct?

A pencil costs more than a pen

The price of a pencil is equal to that of a pen

The price of a pen is two times the price of a pencil

The price of a pen is three times the price of a pencil

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

We are given two situations where the total money spent is exactly the same [17, 26]. **Situation 1 (Jay):** 3 Pens + 5 Pencils **Situation 2 (Vijay):** 2 Pens + 7 Pencils Since the total cost is the same for both, we can compare them directly
