Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- let cp of horse be Rs x,
so,
a/q
20*x/100+30*(1800-x)/100=25*1800/100
=>x=900
so, cp of horse=Rs900/- - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(1)
- Exp.Let the C.P of the horse be Rs. X,
Then, C.P of the carriage = Rs.(1800- x).
20% of x - 30% of ( 1800-x ) =25% of 1800,
x/5-3(1800-x)/10=450,
5x-5400=4500
Hence, C.P of the horse = Rs.1980 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(5)
