Question : Directions: If the 20th of March 2001 is Tuesday, then what will be the day of the week on the 23rd of April 2021?

Option 1: Friday

Option 2: Tuesday

Option 3: Monday

Option 4: Wednesday

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Friday


Solution : Given:
The 20th of March 2001 is Tuesday.

Number of days from 21st of March 2001 to 20th of March 2021 –
365 × 20 = 7300; add 5 days for leap years (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020) = 7300 + 5 = 7305
Number of days from 21st of March 2021 to 23rd of April 2021 –
March = 11; April = 23
Total number of days: 7305 + 11 + 23 = 7339
The remainder after dividing 7339 by 7 is 3. 
Tuesday + 3 days = Friday

So, the 23rd of April 2021 will be Friday. Hence, the first option is correct.

Ratio = 90 : 130 = 9 : 13
Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 13.

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Consider

Consider means to think about something, typically before making a decision or forming an opinion. It involves examining or reflecting on various aspects of a situation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Supplicate means to earnestly and humbly ask for something, typically in the form of a request.
  • Dramatise refers to the act of turning something, such as a story, event, or situation, into a dramatic form.
  • Formerly display seems like an incomplete or unclear phrase. "Formerly" generally means in the past or previously, while "display" refers to exhibiting or showing something. Together, they do not form a typical phrase with a specific meaning.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Consider what happens when you walk into a fast-food restaurant.

Question : If a 10-digit number $620x976y52$ is divisible by 88, then the least value of $(x^2+y^2)$ will be:

Option 1: 8

Option 2: 7

Option 3: 11

Option 4: 10

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10


Solution : Given number = $620x976y52$
Co-prime factors of $88 = 8 × 11$
For the smallest possible value of $y$,
$y52$ will be divisible by 8
So, $y$ will be 1 for 152, which is divisible by 8.
As $y = 1$, the possible value of x for which $620x976152$ is divisible by 11.
Sum of even places in number $= 2 + x + 7 + 1 + 2 = 12 + x$
Sum of odd places in number $= 6 + 0 + 9 + 6 + 5 = 26$
For divisibility rule 11: The difference between the sum of digits at odd places and the sum of digits at even places is equal to zero or a multiple of 11.
AT $x=3$, difference = 26 – 15 = 11
$\therefore$ Value of $x^2 + y^2=(3)^2 + 1^2=9 + 1=10$
Hence, the correct answer is 10.
