1. Focus on the first girl first:
A B C D E F G
Girl A has 7 backpacks
2. Now focus on first backpack A1 :
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7
Backpack A1 has 7 big cats
3. Now focus on first big cat :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Each big cats have 7 small cats (that's the end of the focus)
Systematically, 7 small cats has 28 legs (7 * 4) combined with the big cat that owns this 7 small cats.
Let's call this the "cat chain", so cat chain 1 has 32 legs altogether.
So since there are 7 big cats
7 * 32 = 224 legs
Lastly, since there are 7 girls, A to G, there are 7 * 1568 legs (per girl) = 10976 legs.
Now, since each girl also has 2 legs each;
SO, (7 * 2) + 10976 = 10990 legs altogether

Actually, the answer is zero. There are no legs on a bus; a bus has wheels.
But as the question was for legs, so calculated it

Girls have 2 legs So 7 girls have 14 legs
There are 343 (7*7*7) big cats. So 343 big cats have 343*4=1372 legs
There are 343*7=2401 small cats. So 2401 small cats have 2401*4=9604 legs
Total 14+1372+9604=10990 legs
