For what you should have added options A,B,C,D & E E for us to choose from?

Let me give it a shot.

Assuming weight of Cat & Mouse are 7kg & 3kg respectively,
Then dog will be 17kg since Dog & mouse equals 20kg.

From the above values, weight of dog + weight of cat equals 24 (I.e. 17kg + 7kg)

Therefore the weight of all three animals(mouse, cat & dog) equals 27kg (I.e. 3kg + 7kg + 17kg) QED😁

Hahahaha

In mathematics we don't assume, you have to show how you arrived at the individual weight of those animals

C= Cat
D= Dog
R = Rat.
C + R = 10.
D + R = 20.
C + D = 24.
C = 10 - R
D = 20- R
C + D = (10-R)+(20-R)
I know say I dey do rubbish.

Do you know about “if statements” & “let X be…” in computer programming & mathematics? These are assumptions.
So assumptions are valid as long as you can prove your final answer based on it

If you are using X, Y and Z or any other letter for equation, you have to show how you arrived at your answer

In mathematics theory question, the instruction states "show all working"

Let x be mouse
Let y be cat and z be dog.
From the diagram
x+y=10 ----------(1)
x+z=20 -----------(2)
y+z=24 -----------(3)

(1) + (2) ===>. 2x + y + z= 30 -------(4)
Put (3) in (4) ===>. 2x + 24= 30
===> 2x=30 -24=6
.•. x= 3
Put x =3 in (1)
Gives y= 10 - 3=7

Put y=7 in (3)
Gives z=24 - 7 = 17

So x+y+z = 3 + 7 + 17= 27

Aba
The sum of the first three pictures is 2times the animals in the questions picture.

If we sum the 3 picture and their weights, we get 2dogs, two cats and two rats which their sum is 57.

This simply means the 1 dog, 1 cat and 1 rat will be half of 54.... Which is 27.

It's a no brainer...
