In a garden, there are peacocks and four-footed animals. All these have 98 feet and 35 heads. How many peacocks are there?1. 322. 253. 214. 19

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
