Rhinos and acres

Please see attachment. I find this Question really weird.

There are two types of acres in the Question and the wording is very clumsy to me. If some one can enlighten me that would be great.

Answer is A)340


There are 3000 rhino. Population will grow by 10% so u will have =3,300 rhinos after 1 year.

Each rhino need 100 per acre so 3,300 rhinos will need= 3,300 *100= 330,000

Total acres reqd will be= 330,000 +10,000 (for water)= 340,000

In thousand this become 340. so A is answer

Thanks. I missed the each rhino will need 100 acres part. I was reading it as 300 rhinos will need 10,000 acres of watering area and 100 acres of preserve area.

It was easy. I just simply did not read it right Thats NOT good for me
