Answer: Cost of one goat = Rs 62.50 and Cost of one sheep Rs 1125.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Cost of one goat and y= Cost of one sheep.
As per given,
4x+2y= 2500 (i)
6x+5y= 6000 (ii)
Multiply (i) by 3 , we get
12x + 6y = 7500 (iii)
Multiply (ii) by 2 , we get
12 x + 10y = 12000 (iv)
Eliminate (iii) from (iv)
10y- 6y = 12000 - 7500
⇒ 4y = 4500
⇒ y = 1125
Put y =1125 in (i)
4x+2(1125)= 2500
⇒ 4x+2250= 2500
⇒ 4x =2500-2250
⇒ 4x =250
⇒ x= 62.50
Hence, Cost of one goat = Rs 62.50 and Cost of one sheep Rs 1125.
