Q:

What is 90 days from today?

 

Hints : Today is 20th January 2017, Sunday

A) 18th April, Friday B) 20th April, Saturday
C) 21th April, Sunday D) 19th April, Saturday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20th April, Saturday

Explanation:

Given Today is 20th January 2017, Sunday

In january, we have 31 days

February - 28 days (Non leap year)

March - 31 days

April - 30 days

=> Remaining days => 31 - 20 = 11 in Jan

+ 28 in Feb + 31 in Mar = 11 + 28 + 31 = 70 days

More 20 days to complete 90 days => upto 20th April

 

Therefore, after 90 days from today i.e, 20th Jan 2017 is 20th Apr 2017.

 

Now, the day of the week will be 

90/7 => Remainder '6'

As the day starts with '0' on sunday 

6 => Saturday.

 

Required day is 20th April, Saturday.

Q:

The length of a rectangle is halved, while its breadth is tripled. What is the percentage change in area?

A) 20% B) 30%
C) 40% D) 50%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50%

Explanation:

Let original length = x and original breadth = y.

Original area = xy. 

New length = x/2 and New breadth=3y 

New area = 32xy 

Therefore,  Increase in area = New area-original area = 32xy-xy=12xy 

 

Therefore,  Increase % = increase in area original area*100=12xyxy*100=50 %
