Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Let total number of cars be x, And total number of scooters be y.

$ \therefore $ Total number of wheels $ =x\times 4+2\times y $ $ =4x+2y $ Total number of vehicle parked $ =x+y $ Now, $ 4x+2y=2,(x+y)+100 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4x+2y=2x+2y+100 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2x=100 $

$ \therefore $ $ x=50 $
