Ankit visited an exhibition near his house. He rode his new bicycle gifted by his mother for winning the science competition. After reaching the exhibition Ankit saw that there were a total of 14 bicycles and tricycles. Given the total number of wheels to be 38, find the number of tricycles in the park.​

Solution:

Total number of cycles = 14

Each Bicycle has 2 wheels and Each Tricycle has 3 wheels

Consider Each cycle in the park has at least 2 wheels.

So the Total number of cycles x 2 wheels = 14 x 2 = 28 wheels.

Total number of wheels given = 38

38 – 28 = 10 remaining wheels.

It means that there are 10 cycles with 3 wheels. Therefore, the total number of tricycles in the park is 10.
