ketan chaudhary  (11 years ago)

let the no of ducks be X and no of pigs be Y.
then,since there are 60 eyes in total and both ducks and pigs have 2 eyes we have : 2X+2Y=60 --(1)
and total no of legs are 86,ducks have 2 legs while a pig has four so.: 2X+4y=86 ---(2)
subtracting (1) from (2) ,we get
2Y=26. ie. Y =13
putting value in (1),
we get X=17
