Let the cost of 1 kg of apples and 1 kg grapes be Rs x and Rs y. The given conditions can be algebraically represented as:

The graphical representation is as follows:

Concept insight: cost of apples and grapes needs to be found so the cost of 1 kg apples and 1kg grapes will be taken as the variables from the given condition of collective cost of apples and grapes, a pair of linear equations in two variables will be obtained. Then In order to represent the obtained equations graphically, take the values of variables as whole numbers only. Since these values are Large so take the suitable scale.
