This mystery is, it seems, anything but simple. Can you come up with the answer?
A small clue: try to think outside the box.
A
B
C
Here’s the answer!
1 Rabbit saw 9 Elephants while going to the river, so now we know that 1 animal i.e. rabbit is already going towards the river.
Now we have got 3 monkeys (animals) going towards the river.
As per the final statement, every monkey holds 1 parrot in its hands, so as we already know that there are 3 monkeys so there are 3 parrots are going towards the river.
So total 1 rabbit, 3 monkeys, and 3 parrots = 7 animals are going towards the river.
The answer is 7 Animals.
