Vedclass · Answer

Let, $C.P.$ be $₹ x,$ then

$S.P.$ $=x+\frac{15 x}{100}=₹ \frac{155 x}{100}$

If he had bought the horse for $25 \%$ less, then

$C.P.$= $x-\frac{25 x}{100}=₹ \frac{75 x}{100}$

Now, according to the question,

$\frac{155 x}{100}-60=\frac{75 x}{100} 	imes\left(1+\frac{32}{100}ight)=\left[\frac{75}{100} 	imes \frac{132}{100}ight] x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{155 x}{100}-60=\frac{99 x}{100} \Rightarrow \frac{155 x}{100}-\frac{99 x}{100}=60$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16 x}{100}=60 \quad 	herefore x=\frac{6000}{16}=₹ 375$
