Assume That 20 Cows And 40 Goats Can Be Kept For 10 Days For Rs.460. If The Cost Of Keeping 5 Goats Is The Same As The Cost Of Keeping 1 Cow, What Will Be The Cost For Keeping 50 Cows And 30 Goats For 12 Days ?

Answer»

Assume that cost of keeping a cow for 1 day = c ,

cost of keeping a goat for 1 day = g

Cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats for 10 days = 460

Cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats for 1 day = 460/10 = 46

=> 20c + 40g = 46

=> 10c + 20g = 23 ---(1)

Given that 5g = c

Hence equation (1) can be written as 10c + 4c = 23 => 14c =23 

=> c=23/14

cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 1 day 

= 50c + 30G 

= 50c + 6c (substituted 5g = c)

= 56 c = 56×23/14

= 92

Cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 12 days = 12×92 = 1104

Assume that cost of keeping a cow for 1 day = c ,

cost of keeping a goat for 1 day = g

Cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats for 10 days = 460

Cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats for 1 day = 460/10 = 46

=> 20c + 40g = 46

=> 10c + 20g = 23 ---(1)

Given that 5g = c

Hence equation (1) can be written as 10c + 4c = 23 => 14c =23 

=> c=23/14

cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 1 day 

= 50c + 30g 

= 50c + 6c (substituted 5g = c)

= 56 c = 56×23/14

= 92

Cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 12 days = 12×92 = 1104
