Brain Teaser Answer
If you look at the options one by one, you will be able to identify the individual weights of the cat, the dog, and the mouse. Let’s find out the individual weight of the cat, the dog, and the mouse:
Option 1: Cat + Mouse = 10 Kg
Option 2: Dog + Mouse = 20 Kg
Option 3: Dog + Cat = 24 Kg
Now, Cat = 10 KG – Mouse and Dog = 20 Kg -Mouse
Using the above in option 3,
20 Kg – Mouse + 10Kg – Mouse = 24 Kg
30Kg-24kg = 2 Mouse
Mouse = 3 Kg
Cat = 7 Kg
Dog = 17 Kg
Cat + Dog + Mouse = 27 Kg
