Let us suppose the cost price of a horse be Rs.x then the cost price of a cow will be Rs.(200000-x).
Now according to question we have....
x*(80/100)+(200000-x)*(120/100)=204000
=> x=90000
So the selling price of a horse will be =90000*(80/100)=72000

Answer is selling price of cow is 132000 and horse is 72000
let price of cow is 'x' and price of horse is 'y'
two eqns are given
x+y=200000
1.2x+0.8y=204000
solving these we get x=110000 and y=90000
selling price of cow is 1.2*110000=132000
selling price of horse is 0.8*90000=72000

dayanand giri  (11 years ago)

let horse is x,then cow cost is 200000-x
total gain=(200000-x)*20/100-x*20/100=4000
then x=90,000
and cow cost should be 1,10,000.

rashi chauhan  (11 years ago)

let us suppose the CP of cow is x and the horse is (200000-x)
we know that overall gain is 4000 i.e.
(profit in case of cow-loss in case of horse)=4000
for cow
20=profit*100/CP
profit=20*x/100
for horse,
loss=10*x/100
so,
(x/5)-((20000-x)/10)=4000
it will give you x
x=80000

C+ H= 2,00,000RS.....................1
1.2C+.8H=204000RS............2
C=110000RS, H=90000RS
SP FOR COW=1.2*110000=132000RS
SP FOR HORSE=0.8*90000RS=72000RS
