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

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:

If 20% of a = b, then b% of 20 is the same as :

A) 4% of a	B) 6% of a
C) 8% of a	D) 10% of a

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4% of a

Explanation:

20% of a = b => (20/100)a = b

b% of 20 =(b/100) x 20 = (20a/100) x (1/100) x (20) = 4a/100 = 4% of a.

Q:

A problem is given to three students whose chances of solving it are 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 respectively. What is the probability that the problem will be solved?

A) 1/4	B) 1/2
C) 3/4	D) 7/12

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3/4

Explanation:

Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem and $A, B, C$ be the respective events of not solving the problem. Then A, B, C are independent event

$∴ A, B, C$ are independent events

Now, P(A) = 1/2 , P(B) = 1/3 and P(C)=1/4

$P (A) = \frac{1}{2}, P (B) = \frac{2}{3}, P (C) = \frac{3}{4}$

$∴$ P( none solves the problem) = P(not A) and (not B) and (not C)

= $P (A \cap B \cap C)$

= $P (A) P (B) P (C)$ $[∵ A, B, C a r e I n d e p e n d e n t]$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4}$

= $\frac{1}{4}$

Hence, P(the problem will be solved) = 1 - P(none solves the problem)

= $1 - \frac{1}{4}$ = 3/4

Q:

Fresh fruit contains 68% water and dry fruit contains 20% water. How much dry fruit can be obtained from 100 kg of fresh fruits ?

A) 20	B) 30
C) 40	D) 50

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40

Explanation:

The fruit content in both the fresh fruit and dry fruit is the same.

Given, fresh fruit has 68% water.so remaining 32% is fruit content. weight of fresh fruits is 100kg

Dry fruit has 20% water.so remaining 80% is fruit content.let weight if dry fruit be y kg.

Fruit % in freshfruit = Fruit% in dryfruit

Therefore, (32/100) x 100 = (80/100 ) x y

we get, y = 40 kg.
