What will be the Difference between the cost of 12 Cows and 36 Goats?
(1). The cost of 12 Cows and 36 Goats is Rs 1200.
(2). If the cost of cows is doubled, then Cost of 12Cows will be Equal to 72 Goats.
A- Can be answered using one of the statements but not the other.
B- Can be answered using either statements alone.
C- Can be ans using both statment together but cannot be answered using either statement alone.
D- Cannot be ans even using both statment together.

- A- Can be answered using one of the statements but not the other
we have to find the value of (12c-36g)
(1) The cost of 12 Cows and 36 Goats is Rs 1200
12c + 36g = 1200 => c+3g=100
from this we can't find the value (12c-36g)
(2)If the cost of cows is doubled, then Cost of 12Cows will be Equal to 72 Goats
12*(2c)=72*g
=> 12c = 36g
=> (12c-36g) = 0
statement 2 is alone sufficient to find the value of (12c-36g) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(112) No(3)
- Option - A
As in 2nd stm. assume cost of cow as 'c' and goat as 'g' now acc. to stm.
12(2c) = 72g
12c = 36g
12c - 32g = 0
which is the required answer.
so it can be solved using statement 2 alone. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(1)
- Ans C
12x+36y=1200 or x of 12 =100-3y
12×2(100-3y)=72y or 2400=144y
Y=200/12=50/3
X=50
Cost of 12=600
Cost of 36=50/3×36=600
Difference 0 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(19)
- 12C + 36G=1200
this means C+3G=100 - 1
cost is doubled
C1=2C then 12C1=72G -2
C1=6Gbut C1=2C therefore
2C=6G
C=3G
C-3G=0
(C-3G)*12=12C-36G=0
hence oply A
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
- answer A.
1,statement is 12c+36g=1200
so,1 is sufficent.,
2.A/C
12c*2=72g
so we can write 12c-36g=0
answer is A - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- A
Second statement will suffice - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- ans:C diff=0...
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- option c is correct.. both the conditions are needed to find the difference.
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
- ans c
after using both conditions(1 and 2)
1 cow cost=50
1 goat cost=50/3
so 12cow cost -- 36 goats cost=0 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(5)
- Ans:-C

- @prince how?? Can you explain ??
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- C- Can be ans using both statment together but cannot be answered using either statement alone.
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- C)
According to first statement 12x+36y=1200
and 2nd statement 24x=72y
2 unknown variables so we need both the equations to solve the question - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
- by statement 2, let the cost of cows are x, and cost of goats are y....if the cost of cows become double then,
12*2x = 72y,
x = 3y
x-3y = 0 , now multiplyng wth 12,
12x-36y = 0....(required ans can be found with statement 2 alone, statement 1 is not sufficient alone)...so, the ans is "A"...
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- Answer : C
Statement 1:
12C + 36G = 1200
C+3G = 100
C=100-3G
Statement 2:
12*2*C = 72G
C=3G
Using (1) and (2)
6G = 100
G= 100/6 or 50/3
C= 3*50/3 = 50
Now see the difference in the cost of the two:
12C - 36G
12*50 - 36*(50/3) = 0
Hence C is correct - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- A BECAUSE STATEMENT 1 IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE ANS
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
- the ans is "a" bcos it can b solved using both statements together or only 2nd st.
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- option c is the ans
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
