In a pet shop there are 120 eyes and 172 legs. How many birds and puppies are included in these?

Read Solution (Total 2)

Let there are x birds and y puppies.

Each bird and puppy has 2 eyes. Each bird has 2 legs and each puppy has 4 legs.

Then 2x+2y = 120 => x+y = 60 (i)
2x+4y = 172 => x+2y = 86 (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get
y = 26 & x = 34

So birds are 34 and puppies are 26.
