Answer 1

Heya !! ☺

B. There are 24 horses and 50 persons.

Explanation :- Let 'x' be human and 'y' be horse.
x + y = 74 __(1)
=> x = 74 - y

2x + 4y = 196 __(2)

Substituting x = 74 - y in __(2)
2(74 - y) + 4y = 196
=> 148 -2y +4y = 196
=> 4y -2y = 196 - 148
=> 2y = 48
=> y = 48/2
=> y = 24

Putting y = 24 in __(1)
x + 24 = 74
=> x = 74 - 24
=> x = 50

Hence, there are 24 Horses and 50 persons.

Hope my ans.'s satisfactory.
