Question

In a caravan in addition to 50 hens, they are 45 goats and 8 camels with some keepers. If the total number of feet be 224 more than the number of heads in the caravan, the number of keepers is?

Answer 1

Answer:

the number of keeper in the caravan is 112.

Answer 2

Let the number of keepers be x

Then, no. of heads=50+45+8+x

no. of feet :-

Hens=50×2=100

Goats=45×4=180

Camels=8×4=32

Keepers=x×2=2x

so, total no. of feets=100+180+32+2x=312+2x

Total no. of feet exceeds heads by 224.

100+180+32+2x-(50+45+8+x) =224

100+180+32+2x-50-45-8-x =224

312+2x-103-x =224

209+x=224

x=15

No. of keeper=15

Answer is 15..
