C Correct answer
Explanation

Let prices be 7x and 5x. 7x - 5x = 8000. 2x = 8000, x = 4000. Price of chair = 5x = 5 * 4000 = 20000.

AI explanation

Let the price of the table and the chair be 7x and 5x respectively. The difference between their prices is 7x - 5x = 2x, which is given as Rs. 8000. Solving for x gives x = 4000. The price of the chair is 5x, so 5 multiplied by 4000 is Rs. 20,000.
