1.  In a group of cows and hens, the number of legs are 14 more than twice the number of heads. The number of cows is

A. 5
B. 7
C. 10
D. 12

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the number of cows be x and the number of hens be y.

Then, 4x + 2y = 2 (x + y) + 14 <=> 4x + 2y = 2x + 2y + 14 <=> 2x = 14 <=> x = 7.
