One line reasoning

Answer 1

c) 40 kg (0.25 times of 240 is 60 and 60-20 is 40)

Answer 2

Answer:

Donkeys weight= 0.25 times buffalo

so Buffalo is 240KG  and when we divide   0.25 to 240  and get the answer as  60  kg as donkeys weight

Step-by-step explanation:

WE already found out  that:

buffalo's weight = 240 kg

donkeys weight 60 KG

So now we have to find the dog's weight :-

so IN the question its given that it weighs 20 kg less  than the donkey ..

Then we  substract  donkeys weight to 20 kg then answer will be :-

=60-20

=40

therefore the dogs weight is 40kgs
