There are deer and peacocks in a zoo. By counting heads they are 80. The number of their legs is 200. How many peacocks are there?

Correct Answer: 60

Explanation:

Let x and y be the number of deer and peacocks in the zoo respectively. Then,


x + y = 80 ...(i) and


4x + 2y = 200 or 2x + y = 100 ...(ii)


Solving (i) and (ii), we get) x = 20, y = 60.
