hi,
let the cost of horse be "X".
and the cost of cart be X × 1/3
both of them cost = 1600 RS.
SO,
ACCORDING TO QUESTION.
==>X + X ×1/3 = 1600
==>X + X /3 = 1600
==>3x + X /3 = 1600
==>3x + X = 1600 × 3
==>3x + X = 4800
==>4x = 4800
==>X = 4800/4
==>X = 1200
so,
the cost of horse is 1200 ( X )
and cost of cart is 400 ( X × 1/3 )
