and 8 cows with some chickens. If the total

heads in the farmhouse, the number of chicken is
1. 15
2.
26
3. 30
4. 21​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

i

15

50 hens, 45 goats and 8 camels and x supervisors

Total number of heads = 50+45+8=103+x

Total number of feet = (50×2)+(45×4)+(8×4)+(2×x)

Total number of feet = (100+180+32+2x) = (312+2x)

(312+2x)=(224+103+x)

x=15

Hence, Option 1 is correct.
