Answer 1

Let number of deers be x

1/2 are grazing

Remaining - x/2
Out of these 3/4 are playing nearby
Means out of these 1/4 are drinking water

x/2 * 1/4 = 9
x/2 = 36
x = 72

Ans - There are 72 deers in the herd

Answer 2

$hi...$
Let the no. of deers in the herd be x.

By the given condition ,

Half of them are grazing , 3/4th of the remaining are playing and remaining 9 are drinking water.

$so...$
$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} x = 9$

$\frac{x}{2} - \frac{3x}{8} = 9$

$\frac{4x}{8} - \frac{3x}{8} = 9...........(l.c.m)$

$\frac{4x - 3x}{8} = 9$

$\frac{x}{8} = 9$

$x = 9 \times 8$

$x = 72$
