Q. Ajit was driving down the country side when he saw a farmer tending his pigs and ducks in his yard. Ajit asked the farmer how many of each he had.

The farmer replied that there were 60 eyes and 86 feet between them.

How many ducks and how many pigs were there ?

Read Solution (Total 5)

let the no of ducks be X and no of pigs be Y.
then,since there are 60 eyes in total and both ducks and pigs have 2 eyes we have : 2X+2Y=60 --(1)
and total no of legs are 86,ducks have 2 legs while a pig has four so.: 2X+4y=86 ---(2)
subtracting (1) from (2) ,we get
2Y=26. ie. Y =13
putting value in (1),
we get X=17

Q. A supportive young hare and tortoise raced in opposite directions around a circular track that was 100 yards in diameter. They started at the same spot, but the hare did not move until the tortoise had a start of one eighth of the distance ( that is, the circumference of the circle). The hare held such a poor opinion of the other’s racing ability that he sauntered along, nibbling the grass until he met the tortoise. At this point the hare had gone one sixth of the distance. How many times faster than he went before must the hare now run in order to win the race ? Q.
