A farmer spent three equal sums of money in buying hens, pigeons and parrots. What would be the number of birds of each kind? It is a given that each hen costs Rs 1 more than a pigeon and Rs. 2 more than a parrot.
Explanation: We have the following information given
M = hx, where h is the cost of a hen and x is the number of hens bought by him
M = (n - 1) y, where (h - 1) is the cost of a pigeon and y is the number of pigeons bought by him
M = (h - 2) z …..3) where (h - 2) is the cost of a parrot and z is the number of parrots bought by him.
From I: M/h - 1 - M/h = 9/h - 2 or, y 0- x = 9z/M
From II: x + y + z = 47
From all these, we get the answer that ther farmer bought 12 hens, 15 pigeons and 20 parrots.
