Q:

On 24th Nov, 2007 Thursday falls. What day of the week was it on 10th Nov, 2006 ?

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

Explanation:

The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
So, the day on 24th Nov, 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day on 24th Nov, 2006.
But, 24th Nov, 2007 is Thursday.
24 - 10 = 14 days.
Therefore, 2 weeks ago it is same day.
Thus, 10th Nov, 2006 is one day before 10th Nov, 2007 i.e. it is Wednesday.

Q:

Shahrukh starts from Barabanki to Fatehpur , 1 hour after Ajay starts. Shahrukh meets Kajol 1.5 hours after Shahrukh starts. If the speed of Shahrukh is at least 20km/h faster than the speed of Kajol.

What is the minimum speed of Shahrukh to overtake Ajay, before he meets Kajol?

A) 30 B) 40
C) 60 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of these

Explanation:

Let t be the time after Kajol starts, when she meets Ajay, then 

               t = 300/(x+y) 

 This should be less than 2.5 or (x+y)>120 

Since       y= 3x/2  =>  y > 72

This (y>72) is greater than 67.5 km/h and hence Shahrukh will always overtake Ajay before he meets Kajol.
