Q:

In a zoo, there are rabbits and pigeons. If heads are counted, there are 340 heads and if legs are counted there are 1060 legs.How many pigeons are there?

A) 120 B) 150
C) 170 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 150

Explanation:

Suppose there are all the pigeons then total no of heads are 340 and total no of legs are 680. 

 

Now, since 380 (1060-680) legs are extra, it means there will be 190 (380/2) rabbits.As we know a rabbit has two extra legs than that of a pigeon.

 

Therefore,  number of rabbits =190

 

and number of pigeons = 340- 190 = 150
