a cow and a horse are bought for rs200000 the cow is sold at profit of 20 and the horse

c.p(cow)=c;
c.p(horse)=h;
c+h=200000; (equation 1)
s.p(cow)=120c/100=1.2c;
s.p(horse)=90h/100=.9h;
gain=total s.p-total c.p = (1.2c+.9h)-(c+h)=4000 (given)
.2c-.1h=4000 (equation 2)

solve eq 1 & 2
c=80000

let the c.p of cow =rs x
c.p of horse=rs 200000-x
ATP
20%0f x-10%of(200000-x)=4000
x=rs 80000 ans.

Using Allegation we can solve this question.

Percentage gain on the whole transaction =(4000/200000)*100 %
=2%
cow horse
+20% -10%
/
2%
/
(2-(-10))% (20-2)%
12% 18%
so, cow:horse=12:18=2:3
so cost price of cow =(2/5)*200000=80000

c.p(h)=200000
c.p(c)=x
total profit = .2*x -.1*200000
=.2x-20000
it is given to be rs 4000
.2x-20000 = 4000
.2x=24000
x=120000
