Buffalo gives 4 liter milk, cow gives (1/2) liter milk and goat gives 1/4 liter milk. you have to get 20 liter milk by 20 animals.what is the number of goats?  Choose the correct option:	A) 1	B) 2	C) 3	D) 4	E) 5

Rationale: assume number of respective animals are x , y , z . x + y + z = 20 - - - ( 1 ) as the total number of animal has to be 20 amt of milk will be 4 x + ( 1 / 2 ) y + ( 1 / 4 ) z = 20 - - - ( 2 ) solving equation 1 and 2 we get 15 x + y = 60 - - - - ( 3 ) since buffalo gives 4 litre and total milk is 20 , x < 5 but from eq 3 , x can not be more than 4 ; further if x = 1 or 2 ; y > 20 . . . not possible , since total animal is 20 thus , x = 3 , y = 15 , z = 2 2 goats answer : b
Answer: B
