Nice one thanks

 

well here is the answer my dear friend Guddi,

Answer : 10990 legs altogether

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

 

Therefore each backpack has 224 legs

Finally, each girl has 7 * 224 = 1568 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

Note: Disregarding bus driver, buses and etc…Only focus on the girl and their backpacks!
