Answer / raviteja900
Number of cows = a
Number of birds = b
so total number of eyes are
=> 2a + 2b = 172
total number of legs are
=> 4a + 2b = 344
so solving these equations we get
0 birds and 86 cows

Answer / sheeba
2a+2b=172-----------eqn(1)
4a+2b=344-----------eqn(2)
substitute both
we get a=86(a=cow)
and b=0(b=birds)
so 86 cows and 0 bird

A helicopter drops two trains, each on a parachute, onto a straight infinite railway line. There is an undefined distance between the two trains. Each faces the same direction, and upon landing, the parachute attached to each train falls to the ground next to the train and detaches. Each train has a microchip that controls its motion. The chips are identical. There is no way for the trains to know where they are. You need to write the code in the chip to make the trains bump into each other. Each line of code takes a single clock cycle to execute. You can use the following commands (and only these); MF - moves the train forward MB - moves the train backward IF (P) - conditional that's satisfied if the train is next to a parachute. There is no "then" to this IF statement. GOTO
