A farmer bought a buffalo for Rs 44000 and a cow for Rs 18000. He sold the buffalo at a loss of 5% but made a profit of 10% on the cow. The net result of the transaction is

Given, cost price of buffalo is 44000 and cost price of cow is 18000

Buffalo sold at Loss% = 5%

And profit% for cow is 10%

Need to find out the net transaction

⇒ We know that Loss% = × 100

⇒ 5 = × 100

⇒ Loss = 5 × 440

= 2200

⇒ SP = Cp-loss = 44000-2200

= 41800

⇒ we know that profit% = 10%

⇒ Profit% =

⇒ 10 = × 100

⇒ Profit = 1800

⇒ we know that SP = CP + Profit = 18000 + 1800 = 19800

⇒ total cost of both the animals is 44000 + 18000 = 62000

⇒ Total SP of both the animals is 41800 + 19800 = 61600

Net loss = cp-sp = 62000-61600 = 400

⇒ Option A is incorrect as loss of 200 ≠ loss of 400

⇒ Option B is incorrect as profit of 400 ≠ loss of 400

⇒ Option C is correct as loss of 400

= loss of 400

⇒ Option D is incorrect as profit of 200 ≠ loss of 400

Hence, option C is the correct one.
