Answer» Answer: Step-by-step explanation: Let us assume that cost of keeping a cow for 1 day is Rs x and the cost of keeping a goat for one be y ∵ It is given that cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats can be kept for 10 days for Rs.460. The cost of keeping 20 cows and 40 goats for one day = Rs 460/10 = Rs 46. ∴ From the QUESTION, 20x + 40 y = 46 Diving throughout by 2,
It is also given in the question that cost of keeping a cow is the same as keeping 5 goats. i.e, 5y = x On substituting this relation in(1), 10x+4x = 23
So, x = 23/14 ∴ The cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 1 day will be Cost = 50x + 30y On substituting , 5y = x Cost = 50x + 6x Cost = 56 x On substituting , x = 23/14 Cost = 56× Cost = 4× 23 = Rs 92 ∵ The cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 1 day is Rs 92. The cost of keeping 50 cows and 30 goats for 12 days = 12 ×92 = |
