Solution

  • Cost of the cow = Rs 17,500
    Money spent by Kamla Bai on the cow = Rs 5,500
    It is given that the rest of the money was spent by the government.
    ∴ Money spent by the government on the cow
    = Rs 17500 − 5500
    = Rs 12,000
    Working:
     17500
    5500
     12000
    Thus, the government spent Rs 12,000 on one cow.
  • Money spent by the government on 1 cow = Rs 12,000
    ∴ Money spent by the government on 9 cows
    = Rs 12000 × 9
    = Rs 1,08,000
    Working:
      12000
          × 9
    108000
    Thus, the government spent Rs 1,08,000 on nine cows.
