Camel and carriage for Rs. 5000. He SP the camel at a gain of 20% and the carriage at a loss of 10%. If he gains 3% on the whole, then find the CP of the camel?	Select:
A) Rs.2166.67 B) Rs.3210 C) Rs.3210.14 D) Rs.3344.24 E) Rs.4500.12
Now, in this numerical, there is no common loss and gain %.   Hence, solve it making equations.   Let cost price of camel be x.   As cost of camel and carriage = Rs 5000   Cost of carriage = Rs. (5000 – x)   After selling camel he gains 20% and on carriage a loss of 10%. But on the whole he gains 3%.   Therefore,   20% of x – 10 % of (5000 – x) = 3 % of 5000   20	× x –	10	× (5000 – x) =	3	× 5000   100	100	100   x	–	(5000 – x)	= 150   5	10   10x	–	(5000 – x) × 10	= 150 × 10   5	10   2x-5000+x=1500   3x=1500+5000   x=2166.67   The cost of camel = Rs.2166.67   Option (Rs.2166.67) is the correct answer
