Let's solve the puzzle by identifying the individual weights of each animal using the clues provided in the image.
From the image:
- Rabbit + Cat = 10 kg (Equation 1)
- Monkey + Deer = 20 kg (Equation 2)
- Cat + Dog = 24 kg (Equation 3)
- Rabbit + Monkey + Deer + Cat = ?? kg (Equation 4 — what we need to solve)
Let’s use the equations to find the weights:
Step 1: From Equation 1
Rabbit + Cat = 10
Let’s call:
- Rabbit = R
- Cat = C
Then:
R + C = 10 → (1)
Step 2: From Equation 3
Cat + Dog = 24
Let Dog = D
Then:
C + D = 24 → (2)
Step 3: From Equation 2
Monkey + Deer = 20
Let Monkey = M, Deer = E
Then:
M + E = 20 → (3)
Step 4: Use Equation 4
We need to find the total weight of:
Rabbit + Monkey + Deer + Cat
→
R + M + E + C
Substitute Equation (3) into it:
→
R + C + (M + E)
→
R + C + 20 (from Equation 3)
From Equation (1),
R + C = 10, so:
→
10 + 20 = 30
Final Answer: 30 kg
