Given:

Two hens can lay two eggs in two minutes.

Find:

The total number of hen needed to get $500$ eggs in $500$ minutes.

Solution:

According to the problem,

$2$ eggs are layed in $2$ minutes by $2$ hens

$1$ egg is layed in $2$ minutes by $2*2$ hens

$1$ egg is layed in $1$ minute by $\frac{2*2}{2}=2$

$1$ egg is layed in $500$ minutes by $2*500$

Thus, $500$ egg is layed in $500$ minutes by $\frac{2*500}{500}=2$ hens

Hence, $2$ hens are needed to get $500$ egg in $500$ minutes.
