    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

    A)  5                                

    B)  8

    C)  10                               

    D)  15

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let number of keepers be x. Then, Total number of feet \[=2\times 50+4\times 45+4\times 8+2x=2x+312\] Total number of heads \[=50+45+8+x=103+x\] \[\therefore \]   \[(2x+312)=(103+x)+224\] or \[x=15\]
