    Solution...

    Hi Sonia
    Here is my answer.

    He'll buy
    Sparrows--80---> 4rs
    Parrots----19--->95rs
    Hens------1---->1rs
    --------------------
    So birds 100 and rs 100
    --------------------
    Yesterday I said one mistake is there. U've written 100 each in the last sentence.(how many each bird he shd buy to make combination of 100 each.)
    I thought of this.
    Any way,
    the explanation is:
    x+y+z=100
    x/20+5y+z=100

    By solving, we get y=19.x=80 and z=1.
    Where y stands for parrots, x for sparrows, and z for hen.
    Am I right?

    Gayathri.
