Puzzle - 57

Back with a Puzzle after a long break... Try solving this...

In a Veterinary Clinic waiting lounge there were 7 visitors waiting for vaccination with 7 bags each with 7 mother cats and its kittens in each bag. Each mother Cats had 7 kitty (Young Cat) as well. Now, how many legs are there in that waiting lounge?

Since there was no attempt made, I am posting the answer here.

7 visitors x 2 legs = 14 legs
No. of Cats in 1 Bag
7 cat with 7 kitty each = 8 x 7 = 56
No. of Cats in 7 Bag with 1 Visitors = 00056 x 07 = 00392
No. of Cats in 7 Bag with 7 visitors = 00392 x 07 = 02744
Total No. Legs of Cats in all bags = 02744 x 04 = 10976
Total No. Legs of Cats and Visitors = 10976 + 14 = 10990
