14 bicycles = 14 X 2 = 28 wheels
Remaining wheels = 36-28 = 8
There should be 2 tricycles and 1 extra wheel

2 * 9 ( bycycle ) = 18 ( tyres )

3 * 6 ( tricycle ) = 18 ( tyres ) .......so 9 cycles 6 tricycles

Let x be the no.of bicycles, and y be the no.of tricycles.

Then we have x+y=14; as given that there are a total of 14 bicycles and tricycles.

if x is the no.of bicycles then no.of tyres of bicycles=2*x

similarly no.of tyres of tricycles is=3*y

therefore we have 2*x+3*y=36;
solving the above 2 equations we get
x=no.of bicycles =6 and y=no.of tricycles=8
