Answer 2

The cost price of cow is Rs. 8000 and the cost price of calf is Rs. 6000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total cost price = Rs. 14000

Profit on cow = 20%

Profit on calf = 13%

Whole profit = 17%

Using the mixture and allegation, we get that

Cow              Calf

 20                13

            17

----------------------------

17 -  13   :      20 - 17

  4         :         3

So, cost price of cow would be

$\dfrac{4}{7}\times 14000=4\times 2000=Rs.\ 8000$

$\dfrac{3}{7}\times 14000\\\\=3\times 2000\\\\=Rs.\ 6000$

Hence, the cost price of cow is Rs. 8000 and the cost price of calf is Rs. 6000.
