  1. Deepak has some hens and some goats. If the total number of animal heads is 90 and the total number of animal feet is 248, what is the total number of goats Deepak has ?
    1. 32
    2. 36
    3. 34
    4. Cannot be determined
    5. None of the above
Correct Option: C

Let hens = H, goats = G
According to the question,
H + G = 90 ...(i)
2H + 4G = 248 ...(ii)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 and subtracting from Eq. (ii) , we get
2H + 2G = 180
2H + 4G = 248
-------------------
-2G = -68
∴ G = 34
