Q:

26 january 1950 which day of the week?

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

Explanation:

We know that,

Odd days --> days more than complete weeks

Number of odd days in 400/800/1200/1600/2000 years are 0.

Hence, the number of odd days in first 1600 years are 0.

Number of odd days in 300 years = 1

Number of odd days in 49 years = (12 x 2 + 37 x 1) = 61 days = 5 odd days

Total number of odd days in 1949 years = 1 + 5 = 6 odd days

Now look at the year 1950

Jan 26 = 26 days = 3 weeks + 5 days = 5 odd days

Total number of odd days = 6 + 5 = 11 => 4 odd days

 

Odd days :-

0 = sunday ;

1 = monday ;

2 = tuesday ;

3 = wednesday ;

4 = thursday ;

5 = friday ;

6 = saturday

 

Therefore, Jan 26th 1950 was Thursday.

Q:

A is a working and B is sleeping partners in a business. A puts in Rs. 5000 and B puts in Rs.6000. A receives % of the profit for managing the business and the rest is divided in proportion to their capital. What does each get out of a profit of Rs. 880?

Answer

Total profit = Rs. 880


A's share for managing the business i.e 


\inline 12\frac{1}{2} %  =  \inline \frac{25\times 880}{200}=Rs.110


Remaining profit of A and B as per their capital = 880 - 110 = Rs. 770


Ratio of amounts = 5000 : 6000 = 5 : 6


Sum of ratios = 5 + 6 = 11


A's share = \inline 770\times \frac{5}{11}= Rs.350


A's total share = 350 + 110 = Rs. 460


B's share = \inline 770\times \frac{6}{11}=Rs.420
