        H+C+G=100
     10H+3C+G/2=100
  Solving the above two equations we get
  H=(100-5C)/19
  The only value that satisfies the above equation is
C=1 then H=5 and G=94

10*5=rs 50(5 number of cows)
3*10=rs 30(number of horses)
40*0.5=rs 20(number of goats)
50+30+20=100

x be horses, y be cows, z be goats
According to given condition
x+y+z=100
10*x+3*y+0.5*z=100
Subtracting eqn 1 from eqn 2
19*x+5*y=100
Only possible integers values are x=5 and y=1
Hence z=94
So 5 horses 1 cow and 94 goats
