Question Detail
In a caravan, in addition to 50 hens, there are 45 goats and 8 camels with some keepers. If the total number of feet be 224 more than the number of heads in the caravan, the number of keepers is
- 5
- 8
- 10
- 15
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the number of keepers be x.
Then, total number of feet = 2*50+4*45+4*8+2x
= 2x + 312
Total number of heads = 50+45+8+x = 103 + x
Now, (2x+312) = (103+x)+224
=> x = 15
