Sp of cow=12000. Sp of horse=12000. Cp of cow=100/120×12000=10000. Similarly for horse cp=15000. Total sp= 24000 and total cp= 25000 loss= 1000

c) RIGHT ANSWER
-------------------------
SP of Horse:12000 LOSS=20%
SP of Cow:12000 GAIN=20%

CP of Horse=100/80*12000 = 15000
CP of Cow=100/120*12000 = 10000

Horse=15000-12000=3000(Gain)
Cow=10000-12000=-2000(Loss)

Entire transaction ::3000-2000 = 1000(Gain)

Thanks!

loss % = (cp-sp)/ cp
gain % = (sp-cp)/cp
for horse loss% is 20%
from this we can find sp,
20% = (cp-1200)/cp
cp= 15000
loss = 15000-12000=3000
similarly we calculate cp of cow by
20% = (12000 -cp)/cp
cp =10000
profit = 12000-10000 =1000

total we got loss of 3000-2000 =1000
