1600 years contain 0 odd day.
300 years contain 1 odd day.
94 years = (23 leap years + 71 ordinary years)
= (46 + 71) odd days
= 117 odd days, i.e., 5 odd days
Days from 1st January 1995 to 28th February 1995
= (31 + 28) days = 59 days
= (8 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days
∴ Total number of odd days
= (0 + 1 + 5 + 3) = 9 odd days i.e., 2 odd days.
So, the required day is Tuesday.

4 * 4 = 16
4 * 3 = 12

Ques:- If he sells 40 mangoes, he will get the selling price of 4 mangoes extra, What is his percentage increase in profit ?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:06:

I have seen a few say 25% as an answer to this. But looks
like their math isn’t good and is extremeley complex to
have an asnwer of 25% to this question. Consider – Rs.1.00/-
per mango; so 40 mangoes = Rs.40.00/-, implies Rs.4.00/-
extra at the end of the deal. So he’s left with Rs.44.00/-
after selling 40 mangoes implies a profit of Rs.4.00/- over
Rs.40.00 = 44/40 = 110% which means his profit is 10%.
Hope this helps…
Thanks.

A. 210 kms
B. 30 kms
C. 20 kms
D. none of these
Recent Answer : Added by Michael Torcaso On 2022-08-14 16:28:58:

Let d = 7r. And use distance is = rate × time
7r= ( r+12) 5
7r= 5r + 60
Subtract 5r from both sides
2r = 60
Divide out 2
Rate = 30 km/h
Original question 30 km/h × 7 = 210
30 +12 = 42× 5 = 210
