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

Explanation:-

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