⇒ Selling price = {Cost price × (1 + Profit %)}/100

Let cost price of sheep and goat be x and y

⇒ x + y = 14250 ----(1)

ATQ,

Selling price of goat = selling price of sheep

⇒ 1.1x = 0.8y

⇒ y = 11x/8

From (1),

⇒ x + 11x/8 = 14250

⇒ x = 6000

⇒ y = (11 × 6000)/8 = 8250

∴ Cheaper animal cost Rs. 6000

Goat = 80

Sheep = 110
19 = 14250
1 = 750

8*750 = 6000
