If 2 horses are worth 3 camels, and 9 camels are worth 10 bicycles and 175 bicycles are worth 3 motor cars, what is the price of a horse, i…

Let us assume that the price of each horse, camel, bicycle and motor car are Rs.H, Rs.C, Rs.B and Rs.M respectively.


Given that 2 horses are worth of 3 camels


⇒ 2H = 3C ……….. (1)


Similarly 9 camels are worth of 10 bicycles


⇒ 9C = 10B ……….. (2)


Again, 175 bicycles are worth 3 motor cars


⇒ 175 B = 3M ……….. (3)


It is mentioned that a motor car costs Rs. 3,92,000


∴M = 392000


From (3) we get,


3M = 175B


⇒3 × 392000 = 175 B (?By substituting the value of M)


$( \Rightarrow B = \frac{{3 \times 392000}}{{175}} = 6720)$


Similarly from (2) we get,


10 B = 9 C


⇒10 × 6720 = 9 C (?By substituting the value of B)


⇒9 C = 67200


⇒C = 7466.66


Again from (1) we get,


2 H = 3C


⇒2H = 3 × 7466.66 (?By substituting the value of C)


⇒H = 11200


∴The price of horse is Rs.11200
