Let there be x deer and y human visitors in the park at the given time.
As a deer and a human each has one head, we get
x + y = 41
As a deer has 4 legs and a human has 2 legs, we get
4x + 2y = 136 = 2x + y = 68
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
x = 27.
Substituting x = 27 in (i), we get
27 + y = 41 = y = 14.
Hence, there were 27 deer and 14 human visitors in the park.
