Answer 1

Answer:

here it is

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of 1 buffalo=x

let cost of 2nd buffalo=y

Cost + gains=20,000

x+5/100x=20,000

21/20x=20,000

x=4,00,000/21

Cost - loss =20,000

x-1/10y=20,000

9/10y=20,000

y=2,00,000/9

overall gain or loss= 4,00,00021⋅5100−2,00,0009⋅10100

=20,000/21=20,000/9

=-1269.84

He is in loss of 1269.84 Rs.
