Question

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. 180
• D. 210
• E. none

Answer 1

The correct option is B

150

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.

Number of rabbits =190

and number of pigeons = 340- 190 = 150
