Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\large{\underline{\underline{Answer : }}}}$

There are 4 ducks, they are arranged in a square shape.

$\mathfrak{\large{\underline{\underline{Explanation : }}}}$

Refer the attachment. Let's check if all the conditions are true or not when they are arranged in a square shape.

★ $\textsf{\underline{\underline{First condition - }}}$

There are 2 ducks in front of 2 other ducks.

As shown in the attachment, there are two ducks [A and B] are in front of the other 2 ducks [C and D].

Hence, the condition is true.

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

★ $\textsf{\underline{\underline{Second condition -}}}$

There are 2 ducks behind 2 other ducks.

There are ducks C and D behind the ducks A and B.

Hence, the condition it true.

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

★ $\textsf{\underline{\underline{Third Condition - }}}$

There are 2 ducks besides 2 other ducks.

If you observe the arrangement of the ducks, it can be seen that each 2 ducks have 2 other ducks besides them.

Duck A and Duck B

⇒ They are besides duck C and duck D

Duck C and Duck D

⇒ They are besides It is beside duck A and duck B.

Duck A and Duck C

⇒ They are besides duck B and duck D

Duck B and Duck D

⇒ They are besides duck A and duck C

Two ducks are besides the other 2.

Hence, the condition is true.

$\therefore$ The total ducks are 4.

Answer 2

$\bold{\underline{\underline{\sf{Answer:}}}}$

Number of ducks is 4 which are arranged in square shape.

$\bold{\underline{\underline{\sf{Explaination:}}}}$

Let's name the ducks,

1. Imagira
2. Dracal
3. Mendoza
4. Bleath

Since the ducks are arranged in square shape and we know that a square has 4 sides. For this riddle let's assume points rather than sides.

Point A

Point B

Point C

Point D

Let Imagira be at point A.

Let Dracal be at point B.

Let Mendoza be at point C.

Let Bleath be at point D.

Now as per the arrangement, we infer that Imagira and Bleath are on the same side of the arrangement.

And Dracal and Mendoza is on the other side of the arrangement.

Condition 1 :

• Condition 1 :There are 2 ducks in front of 2 other ducks.

Imagira (A) and Bleath (D) are in front of Dracal (B) and Mendoza (C)

•°• The first condition is satisfied.

Condition 2 :-

• There are 2 ducks behind 2 other ducks.

Bleath (D) and Mendoza (C)  are behind Imagira (A) and Dracal (B).

•°• Second condition too is satisfied.

Condition 3 :-

• There are 2 ducks besides 2 other ducks

Ducks Imagira (A)  and Dracal (B) are beside Bleath (D)  and Mendoza (C).

Hence the third condition too is satisfied.

•°• We know that there are just 4 ducks arranged in square shape.
