Answer:
10 lions and 5 parrots
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of lions be = x
and number of parrots be = y
ATQ,
x + y = 15...................(1)
4x + 2y = 50......................(2)
On solving these two equations we get,
2x = 20
x = 10
Hence there were 10 lions.
Then substituting x = 10 in (1), we get,
y = 5
Hence there were 10 lions and 5 parrots.
Hope it helps you.....
