Question

• Two horses cost as much as 5 dogs, 6 dogs as much as 8 oxen,
10 oxen as much as 50 sheep, 14 sheep as much as 6 goats. If
the price of one goat is Rs. 70, how much will one horse cost?​

Answer 1

Cost of one horse is 7500 Rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of horse be "h"

Cost of dogs be "d" , cost of sheep be "s" , cost of oxen be "x" and cost of goats be "g".

2h = 5d

6d = 8x

10x = 50s

14s = 9g

Price of goat "g" = 700

s = 9g / 14 = 9 / 14 x 700 = 450 Rs

d = 8x / 6 = 4/3 x 2250  = 3000 Rs

h = 5d / /2 = 5/2 x 3000 = 7500 Rs

Hence cost of one horse is 7500 Rs.
