C) March D) August
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) February

We know that the day repeats after every seven days.

i.e    1st - Tuesday

1+7 = 8 - Tuesday

8+7 =15- Tuesday

15+7=22-Tuesday

22+7=29-Tuesday

It is possible only in he month of Febuary with 28 days.

Q:

A person's present age is two-fifth of the age of his mother. After 8 years, he will be one-half of the age of his mother. How old is the mother at present ?

A) 36 yrs B) 38 yrs
C) 40 yrs D) 42 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40 yrs

Let the mother's present age be x years.

Then, the person's present age = 2/5 x years.

(2x/5 + 8) = 1/2 (x + 8)

2(2x + 40) = 5(x + 8) => x = 40.
