Answer:
74 humans and 12 horses
Step-by-step explanation:
since horses don’t have heads therefore 74 heads belong to 74 humans.
Each human will have 2 legs i.e. Each head would have 2 legs i.e. 74x2=148
since there are 196 total legs and 148 human legs therefore there will be 48 (196-148) horse legs. Each horse has four legs. Therefore, there are 12 horses(48➗4).
