00:01 So, according to the question here we have to find the number of birds in the cage.
00:05 So first of all we will assume that the number of rabbits and birds in the cage are x and y respectively.
00:37 That means x rabbits and y birds.
00:40 Okay.
00:41 So, now according to the question we have been given that there are 16 heads in the cage.
00:47 There are 16 heads in the cage.
00:55 Okay.
00:57 So the sum of the heads of rabbits and birds will be equal to 16.
01:03 That means x plus y will be equal to 16.
01:06 This is our equation first.
01:08 Okay.
01:09 So now according to the question it is also given that total feet in the cage, total feet in the cage, they are equal to 38.
01:22 So, we know that rabbit has 4, rabbit has 4 legs.
01:28 Okay.
01:29 So total number of rabbits are x.
01:31 Each rabbit has 4 legs.
01:33 That means the total feet of rabbits are 4x plus every bird has 2 legs and number of birds are y.
01:40 Okay.
01:40 So total number of feet of the birds will be 2y and the sum will be equal to 38...
