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.

Q:

What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?

A) Thrusday B) Friday
C) Saturday D) Sunday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Sunday

Explanation:

28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) 6 odd days

Jan. Feb. March April May

(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 28 ) = 148 days

148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) 1 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 0 odd day.

Given day is Sunday.
