Option 1: Sunday

Option 2: Wednesday

Option 3: Saturday

Option 4: Monday

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Saturday


Solution : Given:
The 14th of May 1953 is Thursday.

Number of days from 14th May 1953 to 27th July 1953 = 17 + 30 + 27 = 74
Number of days from 28th July 1953 to 27th July 1963 = 10 × 365 = 3650
Add 2 days from the leap years 1956 and 1960.
Total number of days = 74 + 3650 + 2 = 3726
On dividing 3726 by 7, the remainder is 2.
Thursday + 2 days = Saturday

So, the 27th of July 1963 will be Saturday. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Divide INR 1488 among X, Y, and Z. If the shares are in the ratio X : Y = 4 : 5 and Y : Z = 7 : 6, then find out the share of Z.

Option 1: INR 460

Option 2: INR 450

Option 3: INR 470

Option 4: INR 480

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 480


Solution : INR 1488 is divided among X, Y, and Z.
⇒ X + Y + Z = 1488 .......(1)
Given, X : Y = 4 : 5 and Y : Z = 7 : 6
⇒ X = $\frac{4}{5}$Y and Y = $\frac{7}{6}$Z
⇒ X = $\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{7}{6}$Z = $\frac{14}{15}$Z
Putting in (1), we get,
$\frac{14}{15}$Z + $\frac{7}{6}$Z + Z = 1488
⇒ $\frac{1}{30}$(28Z + 35Z + 30Z) = 1488
⇒ 93Z = 44640
⇒ Z = 480
Hence, the correct answer is INR 480.
