Q:

The L.C.M of two numbers is 495 and their H.C.F is 5. If the sum of the numbers is 100, then their difference is 

A) 10 B) 46
C) 70 D) 90
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10

Let the numbers be x and (100-x).

 

Then,x100-x=5*495

 

 =>  x2-100x+2475=0

 

 =>  (x-55) (x-45) = 0

 

 =>  x = 55 or x = 45

 

  The numbers are 45 and 55

 

Required difference = (55-45) = 10

Q:

If 6th March, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 6th March, 2004?

A) Sunday B) Saturday
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 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.

Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.

6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).
