Q:

What was the day on 16th June,1993?

A) Saturday B) Monday
C) Wednesday D) Friday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Wednesday

Explanation:

16 June, 1993 = (1992 years + Period from 1.1.1993 to 16.6.1993)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 300 years = 1

92 years = (69 ordinary years + 23 leap year) = (69 x 1 + 23 x 2)= 3 odd days

Jan. Feb. March April May June

(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 16 ) = 167 days

167 days = (23 weeks + 6 days) =6 odd days.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 3 + 6) = 3 odd days.

Given day is Wednesday.

Q:

The marked price of an article is increased by 25% and the selling price is increased by 16.66%, then the amount of profit doubles. If the original marked price be Rs. 400 which is greater than the corresponding cost price by 33.33%, what is the increased selling price?

A) Rs. 380 B) Rs. 420
C) Rs. 460 D) Rs. 440
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 420

Explanation:

As given in the question, Marked price is 25% more than the Cost price.

=> C.P of the article = 34 x 400 = 300 

Now, 

Let the original S.P of the article be Rs. P

Now the new S.P = P + 16.666 +13.333300 x P 

=> S.P = 7P6

According to the question,

7P6 - 300 = 2P - 300

=> 5P = 1800

=> P = Rs. 360

Hence, the increased S.P = 360 x 7/6 = Rs. 420.
