    A)        Rs. 17500, Rs. 12500     

    B)  Rs. 17000, Rs.13000

    C)  Rs. 18000, Rs. 12000    

    D)  Rs. 16000, Rs. 14000

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Cost of buffaloes sold at loss
    \[=\frac{30000\,\,(100+19)}{(100-15)+(100+19)}\]
    \[=\frac{300000\,\,(119)}{85+119}\]= Rs. 17500
    Cost of buffaloes sold at gain
    \[=\frac{30000\,\,(100-15)}{(100-15)+(100+19)}\]
    \[=\frac{30000\times 85}{85+119}\]= Rs. 12500
