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)

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

are independent events

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

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

= $PA∩B∩C$

= $PAPBPC$

=  $12×23×34$

= $14$

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

= $1-14$= 3/4
