2p+3er=18×2  1p+2er=11×3  4p+6er=36  3p+6er=33  substructing  p=Rs3  3+2er=11  2er=11−3  er=4  cost of each pencil=Rs 3  cost of each eraser=Rs 4
$$\mathrm{2}{p}+\mathrm{3}{er}=\mathrm{18}×\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}{p}+\mathrm{2}{er}=\mathrm{11}×\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\mathrm{4}{p}+\mathrm{6}{er}=\mathrm{36} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{p}+\mathrm{6}{er}=\mathrm{33} \\ $$$${substructing} \\ $$$${p}={Rs}\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{2}{er}=\mathrm{11} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{er}=\mathrm{11}−\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${er}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${cost}\:{of}\:{each}\:{pencil}={Rs}\:\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${cost}\:{of}\:{each}\:{eraser}={Rs}\:\mathrm{4} \\ $$
