The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is (B): 34
Explanation: Given :-
4 legged chairs = 4 legged tables = no of workers .
3 legged stools = 4 legged almirahs
No. of stools = 1 + no. of workers
Total no. of legs = 585
let the no. of workers\(=x\)
So,
\(2x+x\times4+x\times4+(x+1)3+(x+1)4=585\)
\(17x=578\)
\(\therefore x=34\)
