kuch bhi karke answer nikal diya hai...solution kindly theek kijiye

Question:
Two horses were bought at Rs. 1600. First was sold at 10% profit and second at 20% proft. If the first were sold at 20% profit and second at 10% profit he would get Rs. 5 more. Find the difference between the cost price of both the horses.
Options:
A) Rs. 10
B) Rs. 160
C) Rs. 50
D) Rs. 60
Solution:
Ans: (c) CP of two horses = Rs. 1600

Let CP of first horse = Rs. x1

CP of second horse = Rs. (1600 – x1)

ATQ,


(x1 + 3200 – 2x1) – (2x1 + 1600 – x1) = 50

1600 – 2x1 = 50

           2x1 = 1550

Required difference = (1600 – x1) – x1

= 1600 – 2x1

= 1600 – 1550 = 50
