There were some hens & cows , in total 16 heads were there , & around 60 legs . Then total hens & cows were ?

• where x are hens and y are cows
  where the heads of hen and cows in
  equation-1 written as x+y=16
  where the legs of hen and cow
  equation-2 2x+4y=60
  by solving we get x and y we get 2 and 14

• Let there are h no of hen and c no. of cow.
  So, h+c=16 => c=16-h
  and 2h+4c=60 =>2h+64-4h=60 =>h=2
  
  So there are 2 hens and 14 cows.

• let x and y be the two variable for hens and cow.
  then first equation be x+y=16
  and the second is 2x+4y=60
  on solving both the equation we get x=2, y=14 therefore total number of hens is 2 and total number of cows is 14.

• no of hen=H no of cow =C
  H+C=16 as total 16 heads
  2H + 4C=60
  solving ,we get H=2 C=14
  So,there were 2 hens and 14 cows

• 2 hens and 14 crows
  2x+4y=60,x+y=16 x=2,y=4

• Let no. of hens be x and no.of cows be y.
  so x+y=16
  and 2X+4Y=60
  on solving we get, x=2 and y=14

• x(hens)+y(cows)=16
  2x+4y=60
  ->y=14
  x=2
  14 cows and 2 hens

• it may be 60/4=16 cows
  60/2=30hens

• let h hen and c cow
  h+c=16.....(1)
  2h+4c=60....(2)
  from eq(2)
  2h+4c=60
  2(h+c)+2c=60
  32+2c=60
  2c=28
  c=14
  so,h=2
