In a cage there are rabbits and pigeons. They have 22 heads and 50 feet. How many rabbits are there?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Let ‘r’ be the number of rabbits and
‘p’ be the number of pigeons.
r+p=22
(heads equation).
4r+2p=504
(feet equation).
Solve the system:
·
From r+p=22, p=22−r.
·
Substitute into 4r+2p=50:
4r+2(22−r)=50 ⟹ 2r=6 ⟹ r=3.
