There are \(80\) cows in the farm. Total number of animals \(=240.\) Therefore, number of pigs\(= 240-80=160.\)

Among \(160\) pigs \(45\) weren't fed. Therefore pigs fed today\(= 160-45= 115\)

Total \(180\) animals were fed today, among which \(115\) are pig. Rest would be cows

Therefore, number of cows fed today\(= 180-115=65\)

Therefore, D
