Question
In a shelter, there are some horses and some pigeons,
only. If the total number of heads counted is 40 and total number of feet counted is 112, then find the number of horses in the shelter.Solution
Let number of horses in the shelter = ‘x’ And, total number of pigeons in the shelter = ‘y’ So,
x + y = 40 ---- (1) And,
4x + 2y = 112 So,
2x + y = 56 ---- (2) On subtracting Equation (1) from Equation (2), we get x = 16 So, number of horses in the shelter = 16
