A) II only B) II and III together
C) I and II together ( D) I, II and III together
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) I, II and III together

Explanation:

From III, we have : Rajan's basic salary = Rs 1550.

From I,   we have : Vasu's basic salary = Rs (1550 + 100) =  Rs 1650.

From II.  we have : Rajan's other allowances = RS 2000

             and Vasu's other allowances = Rs 2050.

Vasu's monthly salary is (1650 + 2050) = Rs 3700.

Thus, all the three statements are required.

Q:

First day of the month is Tuesday and Last day of the same month is Monday. Then which one will be that month ?

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

Explanation:

We know that the day repeats after every seven days. 

Given that first day of the month is Tuesday

i.e    1st - Tuesday

1+7 = 8 - Tuesday

8+7 =15- Tuesday

15+7=22-Tuesday

22+7=29-Tuesday

But given that last day of the same month is Monday

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