A. 20c+32g+36s+8h-38
B. 42s+64c+92g+2h-42
C. 22c+ 42g+26s+9h+39
D. 20c+36g+38s+9h-40..

Answer 1

Answer: A) 20c+32g+36s+8h-38

Step-by-step explanation: no of legs per hen  = 2

no of legs per camel or goat or sheep = 4

no of remaining hens left post the sale = 4h - 1

no of remaining camels left post the sale = 5c - 2

no of remaining goats left post the sale = 8g - 3

no of remaining sheep post the sale = 9s - 4

hence the total no. of legs of remaining animals

= 2 (4h - 1) + 4 (5c - 2) + 4 (8g - 3) + 4 (9s - 4)

= 8h - 2 + 20c - 8 + 32g -12 + 36s -38

= 8h + 20c +32g + 36s - 38.
