Question 1
If 3rd February of an ordinary, non-leap year falls on a Tuesday, then what will be the day of week on 12th June of that year?
Friday.
Sunday.
Tuesday.
Saturday.
Ans: a
Count the days from months between February 3 and June 12 like this: February days = 28;March days = 31;April days = 30;May days = 31;Add 12 days of June. Subtract 3 days of February. So total days = 129. Since 129 = 18 X 7 + 3, so excess days are 3. So we can count the day to Tuesday + 3 = Friday.
.Question 2
Rakesh is 50 weeks and 9 days older than me, whereas Venkat is 44 weeks and 9 days older than Rakesh. If Venkat was born on a Wednesday, on which day of the week was I born?
Sunday.
Saturday.
Friday.
Thursday.
Ans: a
Venkat is 50 + 44 = 94 weeks and 9 + 9 = 18 days older than me. Weeks are in multiples of 7 days. So we can ignore them. We can deal with the 18 days alone. Since 18 = 2 X 7 + 4, the excess days are 4. So we can count the day to Wednesday + 4 = Sunday.
