Let number of hens be x and number of goats be y.
As total number of heads = 25
=> x + y = 25 ..............[1]
As total number of legs = 80
=> 2x + 4y = 80
=> x + 2y = 40........[2]
Subtracting [1] from [2]
x + 2y - x - y = 40 - 25
=> y = 15
Therefore, x + 15 = 25
=> x = 10.
Therefore, number of hens = 10
and number of goats = 15
