Two candidates attempt to solved a quadratic equation of from x ² + px + q = 0. One starts with a wrong value of p and finds the roots to be 2 and 6. Other starts with a wrong value of q and find the root to be 2 and -9. Find the correct roots and equation?

The last day of century cannot be either Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.

The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours.
(Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite direction at 6 'o clock only). So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite direction 22 times.

January and August or October depends on leap year or non leap year. But if we find the number of odd days between March and November we will get number of odd days is 0 hence they will have same calendar.

Arc length = 2?r (?° / 360°)
= 2 x (22/7) x 21 x (72° / 360°) cm
= 26.4 cm

Let us take two cases
Case (i) : When year start with Sunday then next 4 years will always have 52 Sundays hence total number of Sundays are 53 + 3 x 52 = 209 Sundays
Case (ii) : When year start with Sunday and then we have 53 Sundays that means year is a leap year then next 4 years will always have 52 Sundays hence total number of Sundays are 53 + 3 x 52 = 209 Sundays.

? B scores 75 points while A 80
? B scores 60 points while A = 80 x 60 / 75 = 64
Again, A scores 80 points while C = 65
? A scores 64 points while C = 65 x 64 / 80 = 52 points
Hence, in a game of 60, B can give C (60 ? 52) = 8 points

w i n e ( l e f t ) w i n e ( a d d e d ) = 343 169

It means  w i n e ( l e f t ) w i n e ( i n i t i a l a m o u n t ) = 343 512    (since 343 + 169 = 512)

Thus,   343 x = 512 x 1 - 15 k 3

  343 512 = 7 8 3 = 1 - 15 k 3

  1 - 15 k = 7 8 = 1 - 1 8

Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.

   = 29 - 9 = 20

   ⟹ab = 10.

Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel A is 4 : 1

Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2

Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5

Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5

Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C

Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B

=> 4/5     :     3/5
               x 
  3/5-x          x - 4/5

=> 3 5 - x x - 4 5 = 1 1 (equal quantities)

=> x = 7/10

Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C  = 7

=> Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3

Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
