Should be C.
Orig stmt.

2/3 of 60 = 40

therefore P + C = 40

Stmt 1

C > 2P (If P is 4, then C could be 32 , or if P is 8, C could be 24).

there A not sueff

Stmt 2

More than 12 pigs..

C and P can have different values. hence not suef.


Combine 2 stmts.

C > 2P
&
P > 12

and C + P = 40.

the only values which satisfy the eqn are
P =13
and C =27
