a milkman has some buffaloes,cows and goats.he has goats eqal to 5/2 times the number of cows and cows equal to 3/2 times the number of buffaloes.if there are 150 animals with the milkman how many of each category does he have with him
Answer :
Let Total number of Goats = x
Total number of Cows = y
And
Total number of buffaloes = z
So,
x + y + z = 150 --------------- ( 1)
And As given goats equal to times the number of cows ,
So,
x = y --------------- ( 2 )
And
Cows equal to times the number of buffaloes
SO,
y = z --------------- ( 3 )
And
z = y --------------- ( 4 )
Now from equation 2 and 4 we substitute values in equation 1 , and get
y + y + y = 150
Now taking LCM
= 150
25y = 900
y = 36 , Substitute that value in equation 2 and 4 , we get
x = ( 36 ) = 5 18 = 90
And
z = ( 36 ) = 2 12 = 24
So,
Milkman have , Total number of Goats = 90
Total number of Cows = 36
And
Total number of buffaloes = 24 ( Ans )
