An automobile financier claims to be lending money at simple interest, but he includes the interest every six months for calculating the principal. If he is charging an interest of 10%, the effective rate of interest becomes:

∴ Required ratio = 4 : 3

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) ≡ 1

97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.

Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.

Jan.  Feb.   March    April    May      June 
(31 +  28  +  31   +   30   +   31   +   17) = 168 days

∴ 168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.

Given day is Wednesday.

Let 1872/?N = 234.
Then ?N = 1872/234 = 8
? N = 8 x 8 = 64

Let distance covered by dog in 1 leap is x and
Distance covered by cat in 1 leap is y

Then, 3x = 4y
? x= 4/3y

Now, Ratio of speed of dog and cat = Ratio of distance covered by them in the same time = 4x : 5y
= 16/3y : 5y
= 16 : 15

Total volume of cuboid = (10 x 5 x 2) cm³
= 100 cm³
Volume curved = 1/3 x (22/7) x 3 x 3 x 7 cm³
= 66 cm³
% of wood wasted = (100 - 66)% = 34 %

Series pattern
1², 3², 5², 7², 9², 11²
So missing term = 11² = 121

Angle of 360° is covered by hour hand in 12 h .
So, angle of 135° is covered by hour hand in 12/360° x 135° = 4.5 h
Thus, required time = (3 + 4.5)h = 7.5 h = 7 : 30

Try yourself. It was Wednesday.
