Question

Which of the following animal is called as poor man's cow?

• A. Buffalo
• B. Sheep
• C. Goat
• D. Poultry

Hint:

A cheap, hardy milk animal for poor farmers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Find the phrase in the passage
The passage says goats are often referred to as the poor man's cow. The reason given is low investment, survival on poor feed, quick breeding and steady income.

Step 2: Check option (1) Buffalo
A buffalo needs high investment and good feed. It is not called the poor man's cow. So option (1) is wrong.

Step 3: Check option (2) Sheep
Sheep are reared for wool and meat. The passage never links them with this phrase. So option (2) is wrong.

Step 4: Check option (3) Goat
The passage ties this title to the goat. So option (3) is correct.

Step 5: Check option (4) Poultry
Poultry give eggs and meat but are birds, not milk animals like a cow. So option (4) is wrong.

Final Answer:
Goat is called the poor man's cow, which is option (3). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (3)}} \]
