There was a bear going towards a pond.O n his way he saw 5 elephants and each elephant had 2 monkeys sitting on it. Further each monkey had 1 parrot in each hand. So how many animals were going towards the pond?
There is not enough information to give a fixed answer because we don't know if the other animals were headed towards the pond as well. I would need a clear visual for this. We need to know if they were a) facing the direction of the pond and b) had the intention of going to the pond.
However, based purely on the limited information in the sentence, I have to say that it was only the bear going to the pond, for that is what was explicitly stated.
