#1821
A starts a business with an investment of Rs. 25000. After 3 months, B joins with Rs. 30000 and after another 3 months, C joins with Rs. 40000. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs. 20250, what is the share of C?
(a) Rs. 5000
(b) Rs. 6000
(c) Rs. 6500
(d) Rs. 7000
Explanation: Time for A = 12 months, B = 9 months, C = 6 months. Ratio = (25000*12) : (30000*9) : (40000*6) = 300 : 270 : 240 = 10 : 9 : 8. Total parts = 27. C's share = (8/27) * 20250 = 8 * 750 = Rs. 6000.

A starts a business with an investment of Rs. 25000. After 3 months, B joins with Rs. 30000 and after another 3 months, C joins with Rs. 40000. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs. 20250, what is the share of C?
(a) Rs. 5000
(b) Rs. 6000
(c) Rs. 6500
(d) Rs. 7000
Explanation: Time for A = 12 months, B = 9 months, C = 6 months. Ratio = (25000*12) : (30000*9) : (40000*6) = 300 : 270 : 240 = 10 : 9 : 8. Total parts = 27. C's share = (8/27) * 20250 = 8 * 750 = Rs. 6000.
#1823
What was the day of the week on 15th August 1947?
(a) Thursday
(b) Friday
(c) Saturday
(d) Sunday
Explanation: 1946 years = 1600 (0 odd days) + 300 (1 odd day) + 46 (11 leap + 35 ordinary = 57 odd days = 1 odd day). Total odd days till 1946 = 2. Odd days from Jan 1 to Aug 15, 1947 = 227 days = 3 odd days. Total = 2 + 3 = 5 odd days. Day 5 is Friday.
#1824
If 15th August falls on Thursday in a given year, what day will be the 5th September of the same year?
(a) Wednesday
(b) Thursday
(c) Friday
(d) Saturday
Explanation: August has 31 days. From Aug 15th to Aug 31st there are 16 days. Add 5 days of September for a total of 21 days. Dividing 21 by 7 gives a remainder of 0 odd days. Therefore, the day remains the exact same: Thursday.
#1825
If an Independence Day (15th August) was celebrated on a Tuesday in a non-leap year, on what day will the next Republic Day (26th January) fall?
(a) Thursday
(b) Friday
(c) Friday
(d) Sunday
Explanation: From Aug 15 to Jan 26: Aug(16) + Sep(30) + Oct(31) + Nov(30) + Dec(31) + Jan(26) = 164 days. 164 mod 7 = 3 odd days. Tuesday + 3 days = Friday. Wait, let me recalculate. Aug(16) -> 2. Sep(30) -> 2. Oct(31) -> 3. Nov(30) -> 2. Dec(31) -> 3. Jan(26) -> 5. Total = 2+2+3+2+3+5 = 17. 17 mod 7 = 3. Tue + 3 = Friday. I'll correct the option.
#1826
If 11th August 1985 was Sunday, what was the day on 11th August 1986?
(a) Sunday
(b) Monday
(c) Tuesday
(d) Wednesday
Explanation: 1986 is an ordinary year. The period from August 1985 to August 1986 spans 365 days, which means there is exactly 1 odd day. Moving forward one year adds 1 day: Sunday + 1 = Monday.
#1827
What will be the day on 15th August 2023?
(a) Monday
(b) Tuesday
(c) Wednesday
(d) Thursday
Explanation: Odd days up to 2022: 2000(0) + 22 (5 LY + 17 NY = 10+17=27 = 6 odd days). 2023 is NY. Jan to Aug 15 = 3+0+3+2+3+2+3+15 = 31 = 3 odd days. Total = 6 + 3 = 9 = 2 odd days. Day 2 is Tuesday.
#1828
If August 15, 2011, was a Monday, what day was August 15, 2012?
(a) Tuesday
(b) Wednesday
(c) Thursday
(d) Friday
Explanation: The year 2012 is a leap year, and the period between August 15, 2011, and August 15, 2012, includes the leap day (February 29, 2012). This full year interval contains 366 days, providing exactly 2 odd days. Monday + 2 days = Wednesday.
#1829
If 4th November 2024 is a Saturday, what will be the day on 4th November 2025?
(a) Sunday
(b) Monday
(c) Tuesday
(d) Wednesday
Explanation: Wait, 2024 is a leap year, but February 29th has already passed by November. Moving from Nov 2024 to Nov 2025 crosses February 2025, which has 28 days (ordinary year). This is 365 days, yielding 1 odd day. Wait, my option logic was Monday? Saturday + 1 = Sunday. Let me correct the options to have Sunday as correct.
#1830
