An ordinary year has 1 odd day and a leap year has 2 odd days. 

So, the day on the same date for an ordinary year will be 1 day ahead and the day on the same date for a leap year will be 2 days ahead for the next year.

If 19 June 2001 is Tuesday, then the day on these dates will be:

19 June 2002 → Wednesday

19 June 2003 → Thursday

19 June 2004 → Saturday

19 June 2005 → Sunday

19 June 2006 → Monday

19 June 2007 → Tuesday

Number of days between 19 June 2007 to 14 August 2007 = (11 + 31 + 14) = 56

56 when divided by 7, we get 0 as remainder.

Tuesday + 0 = Tuesday

Therefore, it will be Tuesday on 14 August 2007.

Hence, ‘Tuesday’ is the correct answer.

Given

sin θ + tan θ = p

tan θ - sin θ = q

Calculation

sin θ + tan θ = p   ..(1)

tan θ - sin θ = q    ...(2)

Squaring and subtracting eq 2 from eq 1.

⇒ p 2 - q 2 = sin 2 θ + tan 2 θ + 2sin θ tan θ - (sin2 θ + tan2 θ - 2sin θ tan θ)

⇒ p2 - q2 = 4sin θ tan θ

4sin θ tan θ = 4√( sin2 θ tan2 θ)

= 4√( sin2 θ (sec2 θ - 1)

= 4√( sin2 θ/ cos2 θ - sin2 θ)

= 4√( tan2 θ - sin2 θ)

= 4√pq

Hence, p2 - q2 = 4√pq

∴ Option 1 is the correct answer.

Shortcut Trick

Total Revenue = Cost Price + Profit = 1,200 + 396 = 1,596.

Bananas Sold = Total Revenue ÷ Price per banana = 1,596 ÷ 3.5 = 456.

Bananas Thrown = Total Bananas − Bananas Sold = 480 − 456 = 24.

Percentage Thrown = (24 ÷ 480) × 100 = 5%.

∴ The correct answer is 5%.

Alternate Method

Given: Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 1,200, Profit = Rs. 396, Selling Price (SP) per banana = Rs. 3.5, Total Bananas = 480.

Formulas: SP = CP + Profit | Number of units = Total SP ÷ Rate per unit | Percentage = (Value ÷ Total) × 100.

⇒ Total Selling Price (SP) = 1,200 + 396 = Rs. 1,596.

⇒ Number of good bananas sold = 1,596 ÷ 3.5 = 456.

⇒ Number of rotten bananas thrown away = 480 − 456 = 24.

⇒ Percentage of bananas thrown away = (24 ÷ 480) × 100.

⇒ Percentage = (1 ÷ 20) × 100 = 5%.

∴ The correct answer is 5%.

Additional Information

Profit and Loss Basics

Profit occurs when the Selling Price (SP) is greater than the Cost Price (CP). Formula: Profit = SP − CP.

Percentage Calculation

To find what percent X is of Y, use the formula: (X ÷ Y) × 100. In this case, X is the number of rotten bananas and Y is the initial quantity.

Given

Marked price = Rs. 500

Successive discounts of 36% and 5%.

Prabhat was offered a single discount of 40%

Formula used

Successive discounts = x + y - xy/100

Calculation:

The volume of sphere = 4/3 × π × (21)3

Volume of one cone = 1/3 × π × (7)2 × 3

The number of cones obtained = (4/3 × π × (21)3)/(1/3 × π × (7)2 × 3)

= 4 × 3 × 21

= 252

The answer is 252.

GIVEN:

The selling price is Rs 5474

Successive discounts are 12.5% and 8%

FORMULA USED:

S.P. = (1 - d1/100 ) × ( 1- d2/100) × M.P.

Where, S.P. = Selling price , M.P. = Marked price ,

d1 and d2 are successive discount percent respectively 

CALCULATION:

We know that,

S.P. =  ( 1- d1/100 ) × ( 1- d2/100) × M.P. 

⇒ 5474 = ( 1- 12.5/100 ) × ( 1 - 8/100) × M.P. 

⇒ 5474 = 7/8 × 23/25 × M.P. 

⇒ M.P = 8 × 25 × 34 

⇒ M.P. = 6800

Hence, the Marked Price of an article is Rs 6800.

Formula Used: Amount (A) = P(1 + r/100)^t; CI = A − P.

⇒ For compounded half-yearly:

⇒ New Rate (r) = 10% ÷ 2 = 5% per half-year.

⇒ New Time (t) = 2 × 2 = 4 half-years.

⇒ A = 10,000 × (1 + 5/100)⁴

⇒ A = 10,000 × (21/20)⁴

⇒ A = 10,000 × (194481 / 160000)

⇒ A = 194481 ÷ 16 = ₹12,155.0625

⇒ CI = A − P = 12,155.0625 − 10,000

⇒ CI = ₹2,155.0625

∴ The correct answer is ₹2,155.0625.

Given:

A's share = 2 of B's share

B's share = 3 of C's share

Total profit = Rs. 6000

Concept used:

Profit will be directly proportional to amount invested if time period is same

Calculation:

Let the share of C be x.

Then, share of B = 3x and share of A = 6x

Total profit = x + 3x + 6x = 6000

10x = 6000

x = 600

∴ A has received rs 3600.

Calculation

ax + by = 1 -----------(1)

bx + ay = 2ab/(a²+ b²) ------------(2)

On dividing eq (1)/(2) we get,

⇒ (ax + by)/(bx + ay) = (a² + b²)/2ab

⇒ 2a²xb + 2ab²y = a²bx + b³x + a³y + ab²y

⇒ a²xb + ab²y = b³x + a³y

⇒ a²bx - b³x = a³y - ab²y

⇒ x(a²b - b³) = y(a³ - ab²)

⇒ x/y = (a³ - ab²)/(a²b - b³)

⇒ x/y = a(a² - b²)/b(a² - b²)

x/y =a/b -----------(3)

Now putting value of x  and y from eq (3) in eq (1) we get,

x = a/(a² + b²)

The answer is a/(a2 + b2).

Given:

The selling price = Rs. 2625

Discount = 12.5%

Formula used:

S.P. = (100 - Discount%)/100 × M.P.

Where, S.P. = Selling price; M.P. = Marked price

Calculation:

The marked price of the article = 100/(100 - 12.5) × 2625

= 8/7 × 2625

= 8 × 375

= 3000

∴ The marked price is 3000.

M₁ × D₁ × H₁ / work₁   = M₂ × D₂ × H 2 / work₂

Calculation : 

Let the number of mechanics required be a.

Substituting the values in the formula

18 x 10/90  = a ×  12 ×/150

⇒ a = 150/6 = 25 mechanics 

 ∴ 25 mechanics will complete the given work.

Calculation

For Graduate.

A = 22%

E = 16%

For Postgraduate

B = 19%

C = 23%

The graduates in the universities A and E together = 24800 × (22 + 16)%

The postgraduates in the universities B and C together = 18400 × (19 + 23)%

Hence the ratio of the two will be:

= 248 × (38) : 184 × (42)

= 31× 19 : 23 × 21

= 589 : 483

The ratio of the graduates in universities A and E together to the postgraduates in universities B and C will be 589 : 483.

Given:

Distance = 2250 m

Savitha gave Parnika a 396 m head start and also allowed her to start 9 seconds before Savitha started running

Speed of Parnika = 6 m/s

Savitha caught up with Parnika 250 seconds after Savitha started running

Concept Used:

Relative Speed

Calculation:

Let the speed of Savita be x m/s.

Distance travelled by Parnika in 9 second head start = 6 × 9 = 54 m

The total distance that Parnika will be ahead of Savita = 54 + 396 = 450

The distance for Savita to cover at a relative speed of (x - 6) m/s in 250 seconds = 450 m

⇒ (x - 6) × 250 = 450

⇒ 250x - 1500 = 450

= 1950/250 = x

x = 7.8 m/s

Therefore, the speed of Savitha to finish the race is 7.8 m/s.

Given

PQ is a direct common tangent 

The radii of the circles are 9 cm and 4 cm, respectively.

Formula used:

Length of direct common tangent = √[d2 - (R - r)2]

where d is the distance between the centres and R and r are the radii of the circles.

Calculation

We know,

Length of direct common tangent = √[d² - (R - r)²]

d = 9 + 4 = 13 cm

PQ = √[13² - (9 - 4)²]

⇒ PQ = √[169 - 25]

⇒ PQ = √144

⇒ PQ = 12 cm

The answer is 12 cm.

Given:

AB and BC are two chords of a circle with centre O.

Point A and point C are connected to the centre O

∠BAO = 36°

∠BCO = 48°

Concept used:

The angle subtended on the centre of the circle is twice that of angle subtended by same arc on the circumference.

Calculation:

According to the question

∠BAO = 36°

∠BCO = 48°

Since, AO, BO and CO are the radius of the circle.

∠OAB = ∠OBA = 36°  (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

⇒ ∠OCB = ∠OBC = 48°

⇒ ∠ABC = ∠OBC + ∠OBA

= 48° + 36°

= 84°

The angle subtended by the minor arc AC at the centre O = ∠AOC

∠AOC = 2∠ABC  ( angle subtended on the centre of the circle is twice that of angle subtended by same arc on the circumference)

⇒ ∠AOC = 2 × 84 = 168

∴ The degree measure of the angle subtended by the minor arc AC at the centre O is 168° .
