The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Let the price of tea = \( x \)
From I: Coffee = \( x + 5 \)
From II: Cold drink = \( 3x \Rightarrow \) Coffee = \( 3x - 5 \)
Equating both expressions for coffee:
\[
x + 5 = 3x - 5 \Rightarrow 10 = 2x \Rightarrow x = 5
\]
Thus, both statements together are required to determine the price of tea.
