उत्तर

Let the number of deer be x.

Number of deer grazing in the field = `x/2`

Number of deer playing nearby = `3/4 xx  "Number of remaining deer"`

`= 3/4 xx (x - x/2) = 3/4 xx x/2 = (3x)/8`

Number of deer drinking water from the pond = 9

`x - (x/2 + (3x)/8) =9` 

`x - ((4x + 3x)/8) = 9`

`x - (7x)/8 = 9`

`x/8 = 9`

Multiplying both sides by 8, we obtain

x = 72

Hence, the total number of deer in the herd is 72.
