Option 1 : X = 24, Y = 12 True ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free on ventral side.
Option 2 : X = 24, Y = 7 True ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free on ventral side.
Option 3 : X = 12, Y = 5 True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and sternum on the two ends.
Option 4 : X = 12, Y = 7 True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and ventrally to the sternum.
