We all know that,
- All animals have 2 eyes.
- All cows have 4 feet
- All hens have 2 feet
So, Let the no. of cows be x and chickens be y
According to question,
- Total number of eyes = 162
Framing equation,
⇛ Eyes of cows + Eyes of chickens = 162
⇛ 2x + 2y = 162
⇛ 2(x + y) = 162
⇛ x + y = 162/2 = 81 -----------(1)
According to question(Cond.-1)
- Total number of feet = 270
Framing equation,
⇛ Feet of cows + Feet of chickens = 270
⇛ 4x + 2y = 270
⇛ 2(2x + y) = 270
⇛ 2x + y = 135 ----------(2)
Subtracting eq.(1) from eq.(2),
⇛ 2x + y - (x + y) = 135 - 81
⇛ 2x + y - x - y = 54
⇛ x = 54
Putting value of x in eq.(1),
⇛ 54 + y = 81
⇛ y = 81 - 54
⇛ y = 27
⚘ So, Total number of animals,
- Number of cows = x = 54
- Number of chickens = y = 27
Hence, solved !
