कविता ने 8 मकड़ियाँ (प्रत्येक में 8 टाँगों वाली) और भृंगों (प्रत्येक 6 टाँगों वाली) को इकट्ठा किया। जब उसने टाँगों की गिनती की, तो उसने पाया कि कुल मिलाकर 54 थे। निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा/से सत्य है/हैं?

SHOW ANSWER

Answer 4
Explanation: Each spider has 8 legs and the beetle has 6 legs.
Let us start with all 8 spiders. In that case, there would be a total of 64 legs. Replacing one spider by a beetle will reduce 2 legs. We need to reduce 10 legs to have a total of 54 legs. So, we need to replace 5 spiders with 5 beetles.
Spiders: 3
Beetles: 5
Total legs for spiders: 3×8=24
Total legs for beetles: 5×6=30
Total legs =24+30=54 .
