Chess Loop Puzzles

In each of the puzzles below, you are asked to position 2 types of chess pieces on a chess board so that each piece attacks only 1 of the other type of piece (and none of its own type of piece), and the attacks form an alternating loop. An example with 2 bishops and rooks is shown below.
