Answers

1. 10 miles each according to Pythagoras Theorem.
2. Each Cow has 2 eyes and 4 legs and each bird has 2 eyes and 2 legs. Lets call each eye as x and each
leg as y. Also each bird is n and each cow is m so:
n(2x+2y) + m(2x + 4y) = 172x + 344y
2x (n+m) + 2y(n+2m) = 172x + 344y
(n+m) = 86 and (n+2m) = 172
n = 86 – m
86 – m + 2m = 172 or m = 86
This implies n = 0.
So, the owner has 0 birds and 86 cows.
3. This is a classic probability puzzle and many puzzles are based on this logic. If the person picks up two
socks then there is a possibility of them being different in color. If he picks up three socks then they are
guaranteed red or white. So the minimum number of socks required is three.
4. Let the number be x
105 – x = y
x = 105 – y
13x = 105 + y
14 x = 210
x = 15

5. 10 minutes. The total time was one hour and already 50 minutes are over.
