The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we can use the information provided about the total number of vehicles and the total number of wheels. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let: - \( x \) = number of two-wheelers - \( y \) = number of four-wheelers ### Step 2: Set up the equations From the problem, we know: 1. The total number of vehicles (two-wheelers + four-wheelers) is 175: \[ x + y = 175 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. The total number of wheels (two wheels per two-wheeler and four wheels per four-wheeler) is 520: \[ 2x + 4y = 520 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Simplify Equation 2 We can simplify Equation 2 by dividing all terms by 2: \[ x + 2y = 260 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 4: Solve the system of equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( x + y = 175 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( x + 2y = 260 \) (Equation 3) We can subtract Equation 1 from Equation 3: \[ (x + 2y) - (x + y) = 260 - 175 \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 85 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( y \) back into Equation 1 Now we can substitute \( y = 85 \) back into Equation 1 to find \( x \): \[ x + 85 = 175 \] \[ x = 175 - 85 \] \[ x = 90 \] ### Conclusion The number of two-wheelers is \( \boxed{90} \). ---
