Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. Cows:216, Buffaloes:108

The correct answer is C. Cows: 216, Buffaloes: 108.
Step 1: Subtract the goats from the total (460 - 136 = 324 animals left).
Step 2: Divide the remaining animals by the total ratio parts (2 + 1 = 3 parts; 324 ÷ 3 = 108).
Step 3: Multiply the parts (Cows: 2 x 108 = 216; Buffaloes: 1 x 108 = 108).
