In this work, we consider systems of quasi-equilibrium problems with lower and upper bounds and establish the existence of their solutions by using some known maximal element theorems for a family of multivalued maps. Our problems are more general than the one posed in [G. Isac, V.M. Sehgal, S.P. Singh, An alternative version of a variational inequality, Indian J. Math. 41 (1999) 25-31]. As a particular case, we also get the answer to the problem raised in [G. Isac, VM. Sehgal, S.P. Singh, An alternative version of a variational inequality, Indian J. Math. 41 (1999) 25-31].
