Question

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 on each hand.

How many animals are going to the river?​

Answer 1

10 animals- 1 rabbit, 3 monkeys and 6 tortoises are going to the river.

As given, 1 rabbit saw 9 elephants( nowhere it has been mentioned that the elephants are going to the river) and each elephant saw 3 monkeys going to the river, so here we get total animals as 9*3= 27 monkeys.

However, there is a small trick here. Each of the elephants sees the same group of 3 monkeys going to the river. So, the number of monkeys going to the river is 3.

Next, each monkey is associated with 2 tortoises( as 1 tortoise in each hand) so we get 6 tortoises here going to the river along with the monkeys.

So, the total number of animals going to the river= 1 rabbit+ 3 monkeys+ 6 tortoises = 10 animals.

Answer 2

10 Animals going to River

Step-by-step explanation:

The battle of Mathematics and English

so need to read every sentence carefully

1 rabbit saw 9 elephants while going to the river

Here Rabbit is goin to river and he saw 9 elephants

( its not mentioned that elephants going to river)

So Rabbit ( 1) is going to river

Every elephant saw 3 monkeys going to the river  

3 Monkeys going to River  ( and Each elephant will see the same 3 monkeys)

Hence 3  Monkeys going to river

Each monkey had 1 tortoise on each hand.

so two tortoise on two hands

Hence 6 tortoise on  3 monkey's  hand

as Monkeys going to river hence tortoise on their  hand also going to river

So total Animals going to River

= Rabbit (1)  + Monkey (3)  +  Tortoise (6)

Animals going to River = 1 + 3 + 6 = 10

10 Animals going to River
