1 Chicken have = 2 legs

1 Cow have = 4 legs

No of cows = x

No of chickens = y

Total no of legs = 4x + 2y = 210.............(1)

Total No of heads = x + y = 84................(2)

x = 84 - y....( from (2) )

Substituting the above equation in (1)

4 ( 84 - y) + 2y = 210

336 - 4y + 2y = 210

336 - 2y = 210

-2y = -126

= y = 63

No of cows = 84-63 = 21

∴ Total no of cows = 21

Total no of chickens = 63
