• => Number of cows = a
  Number of birds = b
  so total number of eyes are
  => 2a + 2b = 172
  
  total number of legs are
  
  => 4a + 2b = 344
  
  so solving these equations we get
  
  0 birds and 86 cows.

• Equations for legs and eyes would be respectively :
  4c+2b = 344
  2c+2b = 172
  
  Solving we get number of cows = 86 and birds = 0
