50 and 150
after profit, price is 210
so cost price of 2 cows = 200
x+y=200
selling price of 2 cows =210
0.9x + 1.1y =210 //1 cow sold at 10 % loss and another is at 10% profit
solving both equations x=50 and y=150

50 and 150
after profit, price is 210
so we calculate cost price follows
(210*5)/100 which is approx 200
so now cost price is 200
x+y=200---> (1)

now make another equation
take the selling price of cows- 210
and cost price is 200
so profit is rs10
from this rs10 there is 10% profit for 1 cow and 10% profit for other cow
so calculate each loss and profit
loss- (10*10)/100=1
loss%= ((10-1)*10)/100= 0.9
same way finf profit %
profit- (10*10)/100=1
loss%= ((10+1)*10)/100= 1.1
and now make the equation
0.9x+1.1y=210
solving both equations we get
x=50 and y=150

CP=200,suppose one part is X and second is 200-X.
one part wii sell at 0.9X and other at 1.1(200-X).
then 0.9X+1.1(200-X)=210 ....
so x=50 and other is 150
