Vedclass · Answer

cost of price of cheaper anlmal Is $Rs 20,000 .$

Let the cost price of horse be Rs a and cost price of camel be $\operatorname{Rs}(51250-a)$.

According to the question:

He sold the horse at a profit of $25 \%$ and the camel at a loss of $20 \%$. Also, he sold both the anlmals at same price.

Sellıng price of horse $=$ Selling price of camel

$\rightarrow$ cost price of horse $+$ Proflt $=$ cost price of camel $+$ horse

$\rightarrow a+25 \%$ of $a=(51250-a)-20 \%$ of $(51250-a)$

$\rightarrow a+0.25 a=(51250-a)-0.2(51250-a)$

$\rightarrow 1.25 a=0.8(51250-a)$

$\rightarrow 1.25 a+0.8 a=0.8(51250)$

$+2.05 a=41000$

$\rightarrow a=20000$

Therefore,

cost price of camel $=\operatorname{Rs}(51250-20000)=$ $Rs. 31250$

Hence, horse is cheaper than camel And cost of price of horse is $Rs 20,000 .$
