A) 10 B) 46
C) 70 D) 90
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and (100-x).

 

Then,x100-x=5*495

 

 =>  x2-100x+2475=0

 

 =>  (x-55) (x-45) = 0

 

 =>  x = 55 or x = 45

 

  The numbers are 45 and 55

 

Required difference = (55-45) = 10

Q:

If 6th March, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 6th March, 2004?

A) Sunday B) Saturday
C) Tuesday D) Wednesday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Sunday

Explanation:

The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.

But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005.

So it has 1 odd day only.

The day on 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.

Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.

6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).
