Q:

First day of the month is Tuesday and Last day of the same month is Monday. Then which one will be that month ?

 A) January B) February C) March D) August

Explanation:

We know that the day repeats after every seven days.

Given that first day of the month is Tuesday

i.e    1st - Tuesday

1+7 = 8 - Tuesday

8+7 =15- Tuesday

15+7=22-Tuesday

22+7=29-Tuesday

But given that last day of the same month is Monday

It is possible only in he month of Febuary with 28 days.

Q:

Mr. Karthik drives to work at an average speed of 48 km/hr. Time taken to cover the first 60% of the distance is 20 minutes more than the time taken to cover the remaining distance. Then how far is his office ?

 A) 40 km B) 50 km C) 70 km D) 80 km

Explanation:

Let the total distance be 'x' km.
Time taken to cover remaining 40% of x distance is   $\inline \fn_jvn t1 = \frac{40 \times x}{100\times 48}$
But given time taken to cover first 60% of x distance is   $\inline \fn_jvn t2 = t1 + \frac{20}{60}hrs$
$\fn_jvn&space;\Rightarrow$ $\inline \fn_jvn t2 = \frac{60 \times x}{100 \times 48}$

$\inline \fn_jvn \small \therefore \frac{60\times x}{100 \times 48}=\frac{40\times x}{100\times 48}+\frac{20}{60}$ $\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\Rightarrow$ x=80 km.

Q:

P and Q can do a work in 4 hours and 12 hours respectively. P starts the work at 9am and they work alternately for one hour each. When will the work be completed ?

 A) 3 am B) 12 pm C) 1 pm D) 3 pm

Explanation:

Work done by P and Q in the first two hours, working alternately
= First hour P + Second hour Q
$\inline \fn_jvn \small \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{3}$  work is completed in 2 hours
Then, the total time required to complete the work by P and Q working alternately=2$\fn_jvn&space;\small&space;\times$3=6hours
Thus, work will be completed at 3pm.
