    Correct Answer: 8


    Solution : Given:
    Total sheep = 17
    In the statement, a phrase is used 'all but' that means 'all except'.

    The number of sheep that died is 9.
    Therefore, the remaining number of alive sheep = 17 – 9 = 8

    So, 8 sheep are left with the shepherd. Hence, the third option is correct.
