Hi friend,

CP of bullock and cart = Rs. 1800.

Let bullock price = X 

Cart price = (1800 - X)

SP of both horse and cart = 1800 + 155/6% of 1800 = 2265

=> Profit = Rs. 465.

=> X + 20% of X + (1800 - X) + 30% of (1800 -X) = 2265

=> 1.2X + 1800 -X + (54000 - 30X)/100 = 2265

=> 1.2X + 1800 -X + 540 - 0.3X = 2265

=> 1.2X - 1.3X = 2265 - 1800 - 540

=> - 0.1X = - 75

=> X = 750.

Cost of bullock is Rs. 750

Hope it helps!
