2) 96,000

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct option is

B

750

Cost Price of bullock and cart = Rs. 1800.

Let bullock price was X and cart price was (1800−X)

SP of both =1800+

6

155

% of 1800=2265

Profit = Rs. 465

X+20% of X+(1800−X)+30% of (1800−X)=2265

1.2X+1800−X+

100

(54000−30X)

=2265

1.2X+1800−X+540−0.3X=2265

1.2X−1.3X=2265−1800−540

−0.1X=−75

X=750

Cost of bullock is Rs. 750.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

on whole gained in % = 9900/132000 is 7.5%

then. 112%. - 90%

107.5%

17.5%. 4.5%

in ratio 35:9 then total 44* X=132000

X=3000

then bullock is 35*3000= 105000
