A) 120 B) 150
C) 170 D) 180

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
