Q:

The last day of a century cannot be

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

Explanation:

ke

 

A century means 100 years => 76 normal years and 24 leap years

We know that, a normal year contain 1 odd day (365/7 = 52 weeks + 1 odd day)

a leap year contain 2 odd days (365/7 = 52 weeks + 2 odd days)

100 years => 76 x 1 + 24 x 2 = 124 odd days = 124/7 = (17 weeks + 5 odd days)

200 years => 2 x 5 = 10 = 1 week + 3 odd days

300 years => 3 x 5 = 15 = 2 weeks + 1 odd day

400 years => 4 x 5 = 20 + 1 odd day (leap year) = 3 weeks + 0 odd days

500 years => 5 x 5 = 25+1 = 26/7 = 3 weeks + 5 odd days 

Again repeats...

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).

Q:

In a 100 m race, A can give B 10 m and C 28 m. In the same race B can give C:

A) 18 m B) 20 m
C) 27m D) 9 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20 m

Explanation:

A : B = 100 : 90.

 

A : C = 100 : 72.

 

B:C = B/A*A/C = 90/100*100/72 = 90/72

 

When B runs 90 m, C runs 72 m.

 

When B runs 100 m, C runs (72/90*100)m = 80m

 

 B can give C 20 m.
