Question

It’s the battle of Mathematics and English. Let’s see who can get it right

Question:

1 rabbit saw 9 elephants while going to the river. Every elephant saw 3 monkeys going to the river. Each monkey had 1 tortoise in each hand.

How many animals are going to the river?

All the best ​

Answer 1

Answer:

One rabbit saw 9 elephants while going to the river.

This is the first trick of the question.

It is only the rabbit, who is going to the river and not elephants.

So the first animal is Rabbit

Now, every elephant, that is the 9 elephant, witnesses 3 same monkeys, who are going to the river. 

So 3 monkeys are going to the river.

Then each monkey has a tortoise on each hand. A monkey has two hands. Hence, one monkey carries 2 tortoises. There are three monkeys in total. So that’s six tortoises. 

To sum up: 

1 Rabbit + 3 Monkeys + 6 Tortoisess = 10 animals are going to the river.
