Let the cost of a chair and that of a table be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.
Then, 10x = 4y or y =\(\frac{5}{2}x.\)
Therefore 15x + 2y = 4000
15x + \(2\times\frac{5}{2}x = 4000\)
20x = 4000
Therefore x = 200.
So, y = \(\left(\frac{5}{2}\times200\right)=500\)
Hence, the cost of 12 chairs and 3 tables = 12x + 3y
= Rs. (2400 + 1500)
= Rs. 3900.
