Using alligation:
Cost of cow and horse come in the ratio of 2:3
so,cost of cow is (2/5)*(2,00,000)=80,000

let cp of cow=x
then cp of horse=200000-x
then sp of cow=(12/10)*x
sp of horse=(9/10)*(200000-x)
total sp=(12/10)*x+(9/10)*(200000-x)
given profit=4000
then,4000=(12/10)*x+(9/10)*(200000-x)-200000
solving we get,x=8000

cp of cow=8000

cost of a cow=x
horse=200000-x
sold at 200000+4000=204000
cow sold at 20%profit and horse sold at 10%loss
so cow+horse selling price=6x/5+9(200000-x)/10=204000
x=80000

Cow + Horse = 2,00,000
Cow--> 20% profit, Horse--> 10% loss
let, CP of Cow= C, CP of Horse= H
SP of Cow= 120C/100= 1.2C & SP of Horse= 90H/100= 0.9H
C+H= 2,00,000 ------ 1
Gain= Total SP- Total CP= (1.2C+0.9H)-(C+H)
0.2C - 0.1H = 4000 ------- 2
Solving 1 & 2,
C= 80,000 & H= 36,000
