If the cost of 2 hens and 3 goats is Rs. 47000 and cost of 5 hens and 1 goat is Rs. 20000. What is the cost of a hen?

1000

15000

16000

20000

Let the cost of a hen be x and the cost of a goat be y

Set up the equations: 2x + 3y = 47000 and 5x + y = 20000

Solve the equations simultaneously to find x = Rs. 1000
