Answer: Option A
Explanation:
There were all sparrows but six' means that
six birds were not sparrows but only pigeons and ducks.
Similarly, number of sparrows + number of
ducks = 6 and number of sparrows + number of pigeons = 6.
This is possible when there are 3 sparrows, 3
pigeons and 3 ducks i.e. 9 birds in all.
