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
