​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P of the horse be Rs. x,

then C.P of the carriage =Rs (3000-x)

20% of x-10% of (3000-x) =2% of 3000

=x/5-(3000-x)/10=60

=2x-3000+x=600=3x+3600

=x =1200

=hence, C.P of the horse =Rs 1200

Answer 2

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of horse be 'x'then cost of carriage will be (3000-x)

120% of x + 90% of (3000-x) = 102% of 3000

120x + 270000 - 90x = 306000

30x = 36000 => x = 1200
