Q:

26 january 1950 which day of the week?

A) Monday B) Wednesday
C) Thursday D) Tuesday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Thursday

Explanation:

We know that,

Odd days --> days more than complete weeks

Number of odd days in 400/800/1200/1600/2000 years are 0.

Hence, the number of odd days in first 1600 years are 0.

Number of odd days in 300 years = 1

Number of odd days in 49 years = (12 x 2 + 37 x 1) = 61 days = 5 odd days

Total number of odd days in 1949 years = 1 + 5 = 6 odd days

Now look at the year 1950

Jan 26 = 26 days = 3 weeks + 5 days = 5 odd days

Total number of odd days = 6 + 5 = 11 => 4 odd days

 

Odd days :-

0 = sunday ;

1 = monday ;

2 = tuesday ;

3 = wednesday ;

4 = thursday ;

5 = friday ;

6 = saturday

 

Therefore, Jan 26th 1950 was Thursday.

Q:

A,B,C together can do a piece of work in 10 days.All the three started workingat it together and after 4 days,A left.Then,B and C together completed the work in 10 more days.In how many days can complete a work alone ?

A) 25 B) 24
C) 23 D) 21
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25

Explanation:

(A+B+C) do 1 work in 10 days.

So (A+B+C)'s 1 day work=1/10 and as they work together for 4 days so workdone by them in 4 days=4/10=2/5


Remaining work=1-2/5=3/5

 

(B+C) take 10 more days to complete 3/5 work. So( B+C)'s 1 day work=3/50


Now A'S 1 day work=(A+B+C)'s 1 day work - (B+C)'s 1 day work=1/10-3/50=1/25

A does 1/25 work in in 1 day

Therefore 1 work in 25 days.
