1. A zookeeper counted the heads of the animals in a zoo and found it to be 80. When he counted the legs of the animals he found it to be260. If the zoo had either pigeons or horses, how many horses were there in the zoo?
- A. 40
- B. 40
- C. 40
- D. 40
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the number of horse is x
then pigeons are (80 - x)
A/Q,
4x + 2(80 - x) = 260
4x + 160 - 2x = 260
2x = 260 - 160
2x = 100
x = 50
The number of horses is 50
