Solution

Let x be the number of humans and y be the number of deer.Since,human has one head and two legs & deer has one head and four legs, x+y=39 For heads ....1 2x+4y=132 For legs .....2Multiply 1 by 2, we get2x + 2y = 78 .....3Subtracting 3 from 2, we get 2y = 54y = 27Now, from 1, we getx = 39 - 27 = 12So, number of humans = 12number of deer = 27
