Story of the Three Farmers

            There farmers paid Rs. 1,000 for a small pasture. One farmer grazed his 9 mules, another his 12 cows for twice the time and last man put in some goats for 2 ½ times as the second man’s cows and paid half the cost of the pasture.

            Can you find out how many goats did the last man have, if 6 cows eat as much as 4 mules, and 10 goats as much as 3 cows? And how much did the first and second man each pay? 

Answer:   12 cows grazing once = 24 cows grazing twice 9 mules =13 ½ cows

Divide 500 in radio

 24: 13 ½

 First man paid Rs. 180 and second man Rs. 320
