Q:

What was the day on 15th august 1947 ?

A) Friday	B) Saturday
C) Sunday	D) Thursday

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Friday

Explanation:

15 Aug, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1.1.1947 to 15.8.1947)

15th_August_1947_day1534219857.jpg image

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 300 years = 1

46 years = (35 ordinary years + 11 leap years) = (35 x 1 + 11 x 2)= 57 (8 weeks + 1 day) = 1 odd day

Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May. Jun. Jul. Aug

( 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 ) = 227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 1 + 3) = 5 odd days.

Hence, as the number of odd days = 5 , given day is Friday.

Q:

A bag contains 50 P, 25 P and 10 P coins in the ratio 5: 9: 4, amounting to Rs. 206. Find the number of coins of each type respectively.

A) 360, 160, 200	B) 160, 360, 200
C) 200, 360,160	D) 200,160,300

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 200, 360,160

Explanation:

let ratio be x.

Hence no. of coins be 5x ,9x , 4x respectively

Now given total amount = Rs.206

=> (.50)(5x) + (.25)(9x) + (.10)(4x) = 206

we get x = 40

=> No. of 50p coins = 200

=> No. of 25p coins = 360

=> No. of 10p coins = 160

Q:

In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes, 20% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 7500, the number of valid votes that the other candidate got, was :

A) 2500	B) 2700
C) 2900	D) 3100

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2700

Explanation:

Total number of votes = 7500

Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid

=> Valid votes = 80%

Total valid votes = 7500*(80/100)

1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.

Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes

=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x (45/100)

7500*(80/100)*(45/100) = 2700

Q:

If each side of a square is increased by 25%, find the percentage change in its area?

A) 65.25	B) 56.25
C) 65	D) 56

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 56.25

Explanation:

let each side of the square be a , then area = $a^{2}$

As given that The side is increased by 25%, then

New side = 125a/100 = 5a/4

New area = ${(\frac{5 a}{4})}^{2}$

Increased area= $\frac{25 a^{2}}{16} - a^{2}$

Increase %= $\frac{[9 a^{2} / 16]}{a^{2}} * 100$ % = 56.25%
