If 21 cows eat as much as 15 buffaloes, how many cows will eat as much as 35 buffaloes?

(a) 49
(b) 56
(c) 45
(d) none of these

Answer 1

Number of cows that eat as much as 15 buffaloes = 21
Number of cows that eat as much as 1 Buffalo = $\frac{21}{15}$
Number of cows that eat as much as 35 buffaloes = $\frac{21}{15}\times 35$ = 49
Hence, 49 cows will eat as much as 35 buffaloes.

Thus, the correct option is (a).
