Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 21 Concept: Peacock has 2 foots Calculation: Number of heads = 35 So, the total number of peacocks and four-footed animals = 35 Let there be X four-footed animals and Y peacock Total number of feet = total foot of four-footed animals + total foot of peacock 4X + 2Y = 98 ----(i) And Total head = X + Y = 35 ----(ii) Multiply equation (ii) by 2 ⇒ 2X + 2Y = 70 ----(iii) (i) - (iii) ⇒ 2X = 28 or X = 14 Put X = 14 in equation (i) 56 + 2Y = 98 ∴ Y = 42/2 = 21 ∴ Number of peacocks = Y = 21 |
