The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define variables and set up equations based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( T \) = number of two-wheelers - \( F \) = number of four-wheelers ### Step 2: Set Up the First Equation According to the problem, the total number of vehicles is 175. Therefore, we can write the first equation as: \[ T + F = 175 \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Second Equation Next, we know that two-wheelers have 2 wheels each and four-wheelers have 4 wheels each. The total number of wheels counted is 520. Thus, we can write the second equation as: \[ 2T + 4F = 520 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Second Equation We can simplify the second equation by dividing all terms by 2: \[ T + 2F = 260 \] ### Step 5: Set Up the System of Equations Now we have a system of two equations: 1. \( T + F = 175 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( T + 2F = 260 \) (Equation 2) ### Step 6: Solve the System of Equations We can subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2 to eliminate \( T \): \[ (T + 2F) - (T + F) = 260 - 175 \] This simplifies to: \[ F = 85 \] ### Step 7: Substitute to Find \( T \) Now that we have \( F \), we can substitute it back into Equation 1 to find \( T \): \[ T + 85 = 175 \] Subtracting 85 from both sides gives: \[ T = 175 - 85 \] \[ T = 90 \] ### Conclusion The number of two-wheelers is \( T = 90 \). ---
