- Question
- March 5, 1999 was on Friday. What day of the week was on March 5, 2000?
Options- A. Monday
- B. Sunday
- C. Friday
- D. Tuesday
- Correct Answer
- Sunday
ExplanationAs per the given above question , we know that
Year 2000 was a leap year.
Number of days remaining in 1999 = 365 - [31 days of January + 28 days of February + 5 days March] = 301 days = 43 weeks, i.e., 0 odd day.
Number of days passed in 2000 = January 31 days have 3 odd days.
February 29 days (being leap year) have 1 odd day
March 5 days have 5 odd days.
? Total number of odd days = 0 + 3 + 1 + 5 = 9 days = 1 week + 2 odd days
Therefore, March 5, 2000 would be two days beyond Friday, i.e., on Sunday. - 1. If 0.764 x P = 1.236 x Q, then what is the value of (Q - P) / (Q + P)?

Correct Answer: 0.236
Explanation:
Given, 0.764 x P = 1.236 x Q
? Q / P = 1.236 / 0.764
Now, (Q - P) / (Q + P) = [(Q/P) - 1] / [(Q/P) + 1]
? [(1.236/0.764) - 1] / [(1.236/0.764) + 1]
= (1.236 - 0.764) / (1.236 + 0.764)
= 0.472 / 2.000
= 0.236
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
Then, unit's digit = x + 2.
Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2.
Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2.
∴ (11x + 2)(2x + 2) = 144
⟹ 22x2 + 26x - 140 = 0
⟹ 11x2 + 13x - 70 = 0
⟹ (x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0
⟹ x = 2.
Hence, required number = 11x + 2 = 24.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Let the given number be N
Therefore N = 357k + 39
Then,
357 k + 39 = ( 17 x 21k ) + ( 17 x 2 ) + 5
? Required remainder = 5
Correct Answer: 224 km
Explanation:
| (1/2)x | + | (1/2)x | = 10 |
| 21 | 24 |
| ⟹ | x | + | x | = 20 |
| 21 | 24 |
⟹ 15x = 168 x 20
| ⟹ x = | ❨ | 168 x 20 | ❩ | = 224 km. |

Correct Answer: 1/6
Explanation:
We know that, when a pipe fills a tank in m h, then the part of tank filled in 1 h = 1/m
Here, m = 6
? Required part of the tank to be filled in 1h = 1/6 part
Correct Answer: 253
Explanation:
Then, 2x = 10 or x = 5. So, the number is either 253 or 352.
Since the number increases on reversing the digits, so the hundred's digits is smaller than the unit's digit.
Hence, required number = 253.
Correct Answer: 5526
Explanation:
7429 Let 8597 - x = 3071 -4358 Then, x = 8597 - 3071 ---- = 5526 3071 ----
Correct Answer: 40 hrs.
Explanation:
Work done by leak in 1 hour = (1/8 - 1/10) = 1/40
? The leak will empty the cistern in 40 hours.
Correct Answer: 20 !
Explanation:
Total persons on the circular table
= 20 guests + 1 host = 21
They can be seated in (21 - 1) ! = 20 ! ways .
Correct Answer: 2 h
Explanation:
Time taken by the pipe to empty the cistern = 3 h
Then, time taken by the pipe to empty the 2/3 part = 3 x 2/3 = 2 h
