If 1^st February of an ordinary, non-leap year falls on a Friday, then what will be the day of week on 1^st March of that year?

Friday.

Sunday.

Thursday.

Saturday.

Soln.
Ans: a

Count the days from months between February 1 and March 1 like this: February days = 28; So total days = 28. Since 28 = 4 X 7 + 0, so excess days are 0. So we can count the day to Friday + 0 = Friday.

Question 4

Kirat is 77 weeks and 7 days older than me, whereas Vaibhav is 96 weeks and 5 days older than Kirat. If Vaibhav was born on a Wednesday, on which day of the week was I born?

Monday.

Thursday.

Saturday.

Wednesday.

Soln.
Ans: a

Vaibhav is 77 + 96 = 173 weeks and 7 + 5 = 12 days older than me. Weeks are in multiples of 7 days. So we can ignore them. We can deal with the 12 days alone. Since 12 = 1 X 7 + 5, the excess days are 5. So we can count the day to Wednesday + 5 = Monday.
