Question

in a herd of Camels One fifth of male camels are used for cart driving and one third of Camels are grazing in the field and three times the difference between these two numbers are drinking water at a stream the remaining 10 camels are lying due to illness find the number of Camels in the herd

Answer 1

$5 + 3 = 8$

Answer 2

Answer:

36 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of camel be x .

No. of camel seen in forest = x / 4

No. of camel gone to mountains = 2 √ x

No. of camel seen on bank of river = 15

Total no. of camel .

x / 4 + 2 √ x + 15

x = x / 4 + 2 √ x + 15

3 x - 60 = 8 √ x

Squaring on both sides:

64 x = 9 x² - 360 x + 3600

9 x² - 424 x + 3600 = 0

( x - 36 ) ( 9 x - 100 ) = 0

x = 36 or x = 100 / 9

Since camels cannot be in fraction .

Hence final answer i.e. total numbers of camels are 36.
