  • Options
  • A. 45
  • B. 24
  • C. 36
  • D. can be determined

  • Correct Answer
  • 36 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the number of Hens are H and Number of Goats are G.
    According to question,
    The total number of animal heads are 81. Since one animal has one head.
    Number of head of animals = Number of total animals
    H + G = 81..........................(1)
    The total number of animal legs are 234. Since hen's have 2 legs and goat's have 4 legs.
    2H + 4G = 234...................(2)
    Multiply 2 with equation (1) and subtract from equation (2), we will get.
    ? 2H + 4G - 2 x (H + G ) = 234 - 2 x 81
    ? 2H + 4G - 2H - 2G = 234 - 162
    ? 2G = 72
    ? G = 36
    Put the value of G in equation (1), we will get.
    H + 36 = 81
    H = 81 - 36
    H = 45
    Krishna have number of goats = G = 36
