hello.. ♪＼(*＾▽＾*)／＼(*＾▽＾*)／


buffalo cost= Rs 20000
The milkman made a gain of 5% while selling one buffalo.
C.P. is Rs 100,
S.P. is Rs 105. C.P.
one buffalo =2000×100/105=
Rs 19,047.62...

C.P. is Rs 100,
S.P. is Rs 90.
∴

C.P. of other buffalo
=2000×100/90
= Rs 22222.22


Total C.P.
= Rs 19047.62 + Rs 22222.22
= Rs 41269.84

Total S.P.
= Rs 20000 + Rs 20000
= Rs 40000
Loss = Rs 41269.84 − Rs 40000
=. Rs1269.84 AnS:-

♠️How??

$\implies\sf$Buffalo = Rs 20000

$\implies\sf$The milkman gain of 5% for selling one buffalo

$\implies\sf$That means if C.P = Rs 100

S.P = 105.

C.P. of one buffalo = $\bf\frac{2000 * 100}{105}$

$\implies\sf$ Rs 19,047.62

Second buffalo was sold at a loss of 10%.

If C.P = 100, then S.P = 90.

C.P. of other buffalo = $\bf\frac{2000 * 100}{90}$

$\implies\sf$Rs 22222.22

Total C.P. = Rs 19047.62 + Rs 22222.22

$\implies\sf$Rs 41269.84

Total S.P. = Rs 20000 + Rs 20000

$\implies\sf$Rs 40000

Loss = Rs 41269.84 − Rs 40000

$\implies\sf$Rs1269.84
