Answer 2

Answer:

8000 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of the horse = x rupees,

⇒ The cost price of the vehicle = (20000 - x) rupees,

Since, the profit percentage in the horse = 20 %,

⇒ The profit in horse = 20 % of x = 0.2 x,

⇒ The selling price of horse = x + 0.2 x = 1.2 x

Now, the loss percentage in the vehicle = 10 % of (20000-x)

= 0.1 (20000-x),

⇒ The selling price of vehicle = 2000 - x - [0.1 (20000-x)] = 0.9 (20000 - x)

Also, the total profit = 2 % of 20000

= 0.02 × 20000 = 400 rupees,

Total selling price = 20000 + 400 = 20400

Thus, we can write,

1.2x + 0.9 (20000 - x) = 20400

⇒ 0.3 x + 18000 = 20400

⇒ 0.3 x = 2400

⇒ x = 8000

Thus, the cost price of horse is 8000 rupees.
