Question

A man purchased a horse and carriage if he sells horse at 10% loss and carriage at 20% profit he neither gains or loss if he seels the horse at 5,%gain and carriage at 5% loss he loses rupees 10 Find the C.P of horse and carriage.​

Answer 1

Correct option is B)

Let the CP of the horse be x.

Then the CP of the carriage =(3000−x).

20%ofx−10%of(3000−x)=2%of3000

20/100 ×x− 100/10 ×(3000−x)= 100/2 ×3000

x − 101 (3000−x)=60

2x−3000+x=60×10=600

3x=3000+600=3600

x=1200

∴ CP of the horse =1200
