(d) Let CP of the cow be ₹ x and that of buffalo be ₹ y
∴ SP of cow at loss of 10% = (x - 10% of x)
=
(x−10010​×x) = ₹
109x​Also, SP of buffalo at profit of 20% = (y +20% of y)
=
(y+10020​×y) = ₹
56y​According to the question,
109x​+56y​ = (x + y)
⇒
109x+12y​ = x + y
⇒
9x + 12y = 10x + 10y
⇒
x = 2y
......(i)
Now, SP of cow at 5% profit = (x + 5% of x)
=
(x+1005​×x) =
(x+20x​)=Rs. 2021x​Also, SP of buffalo at 15% loss = (y - 5% of x)
=
(y−10015​×y) =
2017y​According to the question,
(x+ y ) -
(2021x​+2017y​) = 800
⇒20x + 20y - 21x - 17y = 800 x 20
⇒
-x + 3y = 16000
.........(ii)
⇒ -2 y + 3 y = 16000 [From Eq. (i)]
y = 16000
So, the required selling price of buffalo is ₹ 16000.
