विकल्प

• 18

• 26

• 24

• 36

Answer 1

Considering all 60 to be men the number of legs will be 120 and considering all to be sheep number of legs will be 240.
Using allegation we get
120                           240
                168
           72    :    48
So ratio Men: Sheep is 3: 2. Men = 36 and Sheep = 24.
So option 24.
