Choose the correct answer

Explanation

Let the number of rabbits be r and the number of peacocks be p. Since each animal has one head, r + p = 60. Each rabbit has 4 legs and each peacock has 2 legs, so 4r + 2p = 192. Multiplying the first equation by 2 gives 2r + 2p = 120. Subtracting this from the second equation results in 2r = 72, so r = 36. Since 36 is not listed among the options, the correct choice is 'None of the above'.
