A) Sunday B) Monday
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 5th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 5th March, 2004.

Given that, 5th March, 2005 is Monday.

5th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 5th March, 2005).

Q:

fifteen persons are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. What is the probability that three particular persons sit together ?

A) 3/91 B) 2/73
C) 1/91 D) 3/73
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3/91

Explanation:

In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!
Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !
Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)
Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!
In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =
n(E) = 12! X 3!
Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!
= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91
