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

Q:

Find the ratio of the areas of the incircle and circumcircle of a square.

A) 1:1	B) 1:2
C) 1:3	D) 1:4

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1:2

Explanation:

Let the side of the square be x. Then, its diagonal = $\sqrt{2 x^{2}} = \sqrt{2 x}$

Radius of incircle = $\frac{x}{2}$

Radius of circum circle= $\sqrt{2} \times \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}$

Required ratio = $\frac{{πx}^{2}}{4} : \frac{{πx}^{2}}{2} = \frac{1}{4} : \frac{1}{2} = 1 : 2$
