Question

5cows cost as much as 7bullocks 21bullocks cost as much as 10horses ,16horses as much as 9camels if the cost of one camel is 3200.Find the cost of one cow?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5cows costs =7 bullocks

ie 1 C=7 bullocks /5

2 bullocks costs =10 horses

ie 1 B =10 horses/2

16 horses costs =9 camels

ie 1 H = 9 camel /16

cost of 1 camel is 3200

cost of 1 horse =9 x 3200/16

cost of 1 horse =9 x 200= 1800

cost of 1 bullock = 10 horses /2 = 10 x 1800/2

cost of 1 bullock =10 x 900=9000

cost of 1 cow = 7 bullock /5 =7 x 9000 /5

cost of 1 cow =7 x 1800 = 12600
