I need the answer soon

There was in the forest an old peepal tree

the grand tree has branches ten and three

on each branch there lived birds fourteen

sparrows brown, crows black and parrots green

twice as many as the parrots were the crows

and twice as many as the crows were the sparrows

we wonder how many birds of each kind

are you going to help us find ?

Given, number of branches old Peepal tree has 10 + 3 = 13

Number of birds living on each branch = 14

So, the total number of birds living in the tree = 13 × 14 = 182

Now, consider that the number of parrots be x, crows be y and sparrows be z.

Again, twice as many parrots were crows.

∴ 2x = y

Similarly, twice as many crows were sparrows.

∴ 2y = z

Now, according to the given condition,

x + y + z = 182

⇒ x + 2x + (2y) = 182

⇒ x + 2x + 2(2x) = 182

⇒ x + 2x + 4x = 182

⇒ 7x = 182

⇒ x = 26

∴ number of parrots = x = 26

number of crows = y = 2x = 52

and number of sparrows = z = 2y = 104
