Options :

112

178

207

206

Answer:

207

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of cows in each field = x

Number of fields = 3

Hence, total number of cows would be :

Number of cows per field * number of fields

Total number of cows = 3x

Therefore,

The total number of cows must be a multiple of 3 : as the total would be a while number.

From the options given, the only possible value for the total Number of cows is 207 as it is the only number which is a multiple of 3 in the options given.

207 = 3x

x = 207 / 3

x = 69
