Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : 1st case: The cost price of a cow = INR 15000 The selling price of the cow = INR 18500 Profit = selling price – cost price = 18500 – 15000 = 3500 2nd case: The cost price of a cow = INR 19000 The selling price of the cow = INR 22300 Profit = selling price – cost price = 22300 – 19000 = 3300 Total profit in both = 3500 + 3300 = 6800 Total cost price = 15000 + 19000 = 34000 Overall profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Total profit}}{\text{Total cost price}}\times100$ = $\frac{6800}{34000}\times100$ = 20% Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
