This sounds less like a riddle and more like a math problem.

At any rate few people who post here know the value of paise and rupees.

1 rupee = 100 paise

I don't understand the part about 20 something. He is going to buy 20 animals?

My concern is A (singular) Buffalo for X EACH?

I think it's a math question.
