Question

A horse Nd a cart together cost ₹ 4600.if the cost of the cart is one third of the cost of the horse ,what is the cost of the horse?

Answer 1

Horse = x
Cart = x/3
x+x/3 = 4600
4x/3 = 4600
4x = 13800
x = 3450( cost of horse )

Answer 2

Cost of horse and cart = ₹ 4600

Let the cost of horse be X
Cost of cart = 1/3X

A/q
X+1/3X = ₹ 4600
=> (3X + X)/3 = ₹ 4600
=> 4X = ₹ 4600×3
=> X = ₹ 13800/4 = ₹ 3450

Hence,
Cost of horse = ₹ 3450
