Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Answer:

According to the given question:-

₹ 1200 is the cost of both goat and Buffalo

Here we need to find the cost of Goat and buffalo:-

Let y be the cost of buffalo

Let 1/5y be the cost of Goat

So,

= > y + \frac{1}{5} y = 1200=>y+51y=1200

= > y + \frac{1}{5} y = 1200=>y+51y=1200

Taking LCM for 5

= > \frac{6y}{5} = 1200=>56y=1200

= > 6y = 1200 \times 5=>6y=1200×5

= > 6y = 6000=>6y=6000

= > y = \frac{6000}{6}=>y=66000

= > y = 1000=>y=1000

Here, is the value of 1/5 is

\frac{1}{5} \times 100051×1000

Therefore, The cost of buffalo is ₹ 1000 and The cost of Goat is ₹ 200
