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.2224
C) Rs.2270.72
D) Rs.2145
E) Rs.2165
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
