Correct Answer: 2 p.m. on Wednesday
Explanation:
| ∴ The watch gains | ❨ | 2 + 4 | 4 | ❩min. | or | 34 | min. in 170 hrs. |
| 5 | 5 |
| Now, | 34 | min. are gained in 170 hrs. |
| 5 |
| ∴ 2 min. are gained in | ❨ | 170 x | 5 | x 2 | ❩hrs | = 50 hrs. |
| 34 |
∴ Watch is correct 2 days 2 hrs. after 12 p.m. on Monday i.e., it will be correct at 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
Correct Answer: 153600
Explanation:
| Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = | ❨ | 12000 | x 8 | ❩m = 1600 m. |
| 60 |
Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.
Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.
∴ Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.
∴ Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2.
Correct Answer: 18 cm
Explanation:
Also, lb = 20.
(l + b)2 = (l2 + b2) + 2lb = 41 + 40 = 81
⟹ (l + b) = 9.
∴ Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 18 cm.
Correct Answer: 5 : 3
Explanation:
| Let 40% of A = | 2 | B |
| 3 |
| Then, | 40A | = | 2B |
| 100 | 3 |
| ⟹ | 2A | = | 2B |
| 5 | 3 |
| ⟹ | A | = | ❨ | 2 | x | 5 | ❩ | = | 5 |
| B | 3 | 2 | 3 |
∴ A : B = 5 : 3.

200 years contain (5 x 2) ≡ 3 odd days.
∴ Last day of 2nd century is Wednesday.
300 years contain (5 x 3) = 15 ≡ 1 odd day.
∴ Last day of 3rd century is Monday.
400 years contain 0 odd day.
∴ Last day of 4th century is Sunday.
This cycle is repeated.
∴ Last day of a century cannot be Tuesday or Thursday or Saturday.
