Q:

On 24th Nov, 2007 Thursday falls. What day of the week was it on 10th Nov, 2006 ?

 A) Wednesday B) Tuesday C) Friday D) Thursday

Explanation:

The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
So, the day on 24th Nov, 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day on 24th Nov, 2006.
But, 24th Nov, 2007 is Thursday.
24 - 10 = 14 days.
Therefore, 2 weeks ago it is same day.
Thus, 10th Nov, 2006 is one day before 10th Nov, 2007 i.e. it is Wednesday.

 A) 90 mts B) 150 mts C) 120 mts D) 100 mts

$\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\Rightarrow$ distance= speed * time
$\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\Rightarrow$ d = $\inline \fn_jvn \small 40\times \frac{5}{18}\frac{mts}{sec}\times 9$

$\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\Rightarrow$  d= 100 mts.
