$\huge\mathcal{\underline{Solution:-}}$

Let the cost price of the buffaloes be x and y.

Given that he bought buffaloes for 30000.

x + y = 30000    --- (1).

Given that he sells at a loss at 15%. Then SP of 1st buffalo = 85x/100.

Given that he sells at a profit of 19%.Then SP of 2nd buffalo = 119y/100.

Given that SP of both buffaloes is same, 85x/100 = 119y/100

x = 1.4y   --- (2)

Substitute (2) in (1), we get

1.4y + y = 30000

2.4y = 30000

y = 12500.

Substitute y = 12500 in (1), we get

x + 12500 = 30000

x = 17500.

The cost price of 1st buffalo = 17500.

The cost price of 1st buffalo = 17500.The cost price of 2nd buffalo = 12500.
