Solution
Every girl has seven bags comprising of seven adult cats each with seven little cats per adult cat.
Thus for one girl:
1 girl + 49 adult cats + 343 little cats
Since there are 7 girls:
7 girls + 343 adult cats + 2410 little cats
Now calculating the legs:
14 legs of girls + 10976 legs of cats (There are total 2744 cats with 4 legs each).
Thus total legs = 10990
Now I climbed aboard the bus as well, thus total number of legs = 10990 + 2 = 10992 legs
If we add two legs of the driver as well,
Total legs = 10992 + 2 = 10994
