Chickens have 2 legs
Sheeps have 4 legs.
Both have only one head each.
Lets assume:
number of sheeps = S
number of chickens =C
According to the question,
S+C = 48.......(i)
4S+2C=134 => 2S+C = 67......(ii)
Substracting eq. (i) from equation (ii)
S = 19
substituting in (i)
C = 29

Answer:
Explanation:
Let number of hens be x, number of sheep be y.
x+y=48 --------eq1
2x+4y=134 --------eq2
Now, by elimination
(2x+4y=134)
-(2x+2y=96)
=> 2y= 38
=> y=19
Therefore, there are 19 sheep.
So, option C is correct.
