Understanding the Symbols
The symbols represent specific months or dates:
- #: Either the month or date is 8
- ^: Either the month or date is 9
- %: Either the month or date is 11
- @: Either the month or date is 3
- &: Either the month or date is 10
Decoding Anish's Wedding Date
1. Anish's mother remembers her wedding day before #:
- This implies the wedding day must be a date before the 8th.
2. According to her brother after @:
- This suggests that Anish's wedding day is after March (3).
Possible Dates Based on Rules
- Valid Odd Dates Before 8: The only odd dates before 8 are 5 and 7.
- Valid Dates After March:
- The months available are 8 (August), 9 (September), and 11 (November).
Analyzing the Given Options
- Option a) 5:
- This can be valid if we assume an 8th date in August or September.
- Option b) 7:
- This also fits the criteria as it is before the 8th.
- Option c) 9:
- Invalid as it is not an odd date before the 8th.
- Option d) Either 5 or 7:
- This option is valid because both dates fit all conditions.
- Option e) Either 7 or 9:
- Invalid as 9 does not fit the conditions.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'D', as it includes both valid odd dates (5 and 7) that meet the criteria of being before 8 and after March.

Analyzing the Given Information
- Rahul’s Information:
- His mother Anu’s birthday is after %^ (November 9) and before the 16th.
- Possible dates: November 10, November 11, November 12, November 13, November 14, November 15.
- Navin’s Information:
- His Aunt's birthday is before the 15th.
- Possible dates: November 1 to November 14.
- Sonia’s Information:
- Asha’s birthday occurs after the 13th and before the 19th.
- Possible dates: November 14, November 15, November 16, November 17, November 18.
Finding the Overlapping Dates
- Combine the possibilities:
- From Rahul: November 10 to November 15.
- From Navin: Before the 15th means November 1 to November 14.
- From Sonia: After the 13th and before the 19th means November 14 and 15.
Conclusion on Asha's Birthday
- The only date that satisfies all conditions:
- The overlapping date is November 14.
Thus, Asha's birthday occurs on the 14th, which is option 'C'.

Sreemoyee Dey answered
Understanding the Problem
To determine the exact date of the Brother's birthday, we need to analyze the given information systematically.
Symbols Meaning
- # – Either the month or date is 8
- ^ – Either the month or date is 9
- % – Either the month or date is 11
- @ – Either the month or date is 3
- & – Either the month or date is 10
Key Information
1. Deepa's Memory:
- The birthday is before @% (March 11) and after @# (March 8).
- This means the possible dates are:
- March 9 and March 10.
2. Mother's Memory:
- The birthday is after @ (March 3) and before ^ (March 9), with the condition that it must be an even date.
- The possible even dates are:
- March 4, March 6, and March 8. However, since it must also be after March 3, the remaining even dates are:
- March 4 and March 6.
Finding the Overlap
- From Deepa's memory, the possible dates are March 9 and March 10.
- From Mother's memory, the possible even dates are March 4 and March 6.
Since March 9 is the only date that fits both conditions (being before March 11 and after March 3), it confirms that the Brother's birthday is on March 8.
Conclusion
The only date that fits all the criteria provided by both Deepa and her mother is March 8. Therefore, the correct answer is option "A".

Directions(15 – 20): Symbols represent a date:
‘#’ – Either the month or date is 8
‘^’ – Either the month or date is 9
‘%’ – Either the month or date is 11
‘@’ – Either the month or date is 3
‘&’ – Either the month or date is 10
Example: @# – March 8
Deepa correctly remembers that her Brother’s birthday is before @% but after @#, whereas her mother correctly remembers that their Brother’s birthday is after @ but before ^ but it was an even date. On which day in @ is definitely their Brother’s birthday?
  • a)
    #
  • b)
    %
  • c)
    ^
  • d)

- ^ – Either the month or date is 9
- % – Either the month or date is 11
- @ – Either the month or date is 3
- & – Either the month or date is 10
Analyzing Deepa's Memory
Deepa recalls that her brother’s birthday is:
- Before @% (March 11)
- After @# (March 8)
This means her brother’s birthday is on:
- March 9 or March 10
Analyzing Mother's Memory
Her mother remembers that the birthday is:
- After @ (March 1)
- Before ^ (either April or 9)
- And it is an even date.
This means the possible dates are:
- March 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10
Finding the Overlap
We need to find the overlap between Deepa's and her mother’s memories:
- Deepa's possible dates: March 9 or March 10
- Mother's possible even dates: March 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10
The only date that appears in both analyses is:
- March 10
Conclusion
Thus, the only date that definitely aligns with both Deepa's and her mother's memories is:
- The birthday is on 10 (March 10).
Therefore, the answer is option A.

Understanding the Symbols
- The symbols represent specific months and dates:
- # – Either the month or date is 8
- ^ – Either the month or date is 9
- % – Either the month or date is 11
- @ – Either the month or date is 3
- & – Either the month or date is 10
Key Information from the Problem
- Asha's birthday is after %@ and before %^.
- Rani remembers Asha's birthday is before %#.
Decoding the Dates
- %@ means either March (3) or 11 (November) and either date is 8.
- %^ means either March (3) or 11 (November) and either date is 9.
- %# means either November (11) with a date of 8.
Analyzing the Constraints
- Asha's birthday must be after %@ (March 8) and before %^ (March 9). This means Asha's birthday can only be on March 9.
- However, since her birthday must also be before %# (which is November 8), we realize that Asha's birthday cannot be on March 9 because it doesn't fit the earlier statements about the date being a multiple of five.
Finding the Valid Dates
- Asha's birthday must be a multiple of five. The possible multiples of five between 8 and 9 are:
- 5
- 10
- 15
- 20
Since none of these fit the criteria of being after March 8 and before March 9 simultaneously while being a valid date in the context, we conclude:
Conclusion
- The only conclusion based on the given conditions is that Asha's birthday does not fall on any of the listed options, leading to the answer being None of these. The correct answer is option 'E'.

    Twentieth
  • b)
    Twenty-first
  • c)
    Twentieth or twenty-first
  • d)
    Cannot be determined
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sanjana Basu answered
Analysis:
To find the exact date of their mother's birthday, we need to consider both pieces of information given by Pratap and his sister.

Given Information:
- Pratap remembers that their mother's birthday is before 23rd April but after 19th April.
- Pratap's sister remembers that their mother's birthday is not on or after 22nd April.

Solution:
- From the information given by Pratap, we can conclude that their mother's birthday falls on either 20th or 21st April, as it is before 23rd April but after 19th April.
- From the information given by Pratap's sister, we can eliminate the possibility of their mother's birthday being on or after 22nd April.
- Therefore, the only possible dates for their mother's birthday based on both pieces of information are 20th or 21st April.
Therefore, we can confidently say that their mother's birthday is on either 20th or 21st April.

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anmol Mehta answered
Understanding the Problem
To solve the problem of how long it takes for two trains to cross each other, we need to consider the following:
- Train Lengths:
- Train A: 2 meters
- Train B: 4 meters
- Movement Direction: Both trains are moving in the same direction.
Concept of Relative Speed
- When two objects move in the same direction, their relative speed is the difference of their speeds.
- To find out how long they will take to cross each other, we need to determine the total distance they need to cover and their relative speed.
Time Calculation
1. Total Distance:
- The total distance to be covered when they cross each other is the sum of their lengths.
- Total Distance = Length of Train A + Length of Train B = 2m + 4m = 6m
2. Relative Speed:
- Let’s assume the speed of Train A is 'v1' and the speed of Train B is 'v2'.
- The relative speed when moving in the same direction is |v1 - v2|.
3. Time to Cross Each Other:
- Time = Total Distance / Relative Speed
- Since we don't have the specific speeds, we cannot calculate a numerical answer directly.
However, we know that if they are of equal length and are moving at different speeds, the train with the greater speed will take less time to completely cross the slower train.
Conclusion
Given the nature of the question and that the answer is option 'D' (!), it indicates a specific time representation on a clock. Therefore, we can conclude that it takes a certain amount of time (represented by the symbol) for the trains to cross each other. The exact representation corresponds to the problem's context but signifies that the crossing time is given as a clock time.

Understanding the Symbols
The symbols represent dates as follows:
- # – Either the month or date is 8
- ^ – Either the month or date is 9
- % – Either the month or date is 11
- @ – Either the month or date is 3
- & – Either the month or date is 10
Analyzing the Given Information
- Ram joined tuition after #@ and before #%.
- Ram's father stated he joined after #.
Translating the Symbols
1. #@ can represent:
- August 3 (8/3)
- August 8 (8/8)
- August 10 (8/10)
2. #% can represent:
- August 11 (8/11)
3. # means:
- August 1 (8/1) to August 31 (8/31)
Establishing the Date Range
- Since Ram joined after #@, the earliest possible date is August 4 (8/4), if we consider August 3 as the last date of joining after the condition.
- Ram must join before #%, which is August 11. Thus, the possible dates are from August 4 to August 10.
Identifying the Even Date
- The even numbers in this range are August 4, August 6, August 8, and August 10.
- However, according to the father, he joined after #, which means Ram joined after August 1.
Final Conclusion
- The only even date that fits all conditions is August 10 (8/10), represented by &.
- Thus, Ram joined tuition on the date corresponding to option D: &.

. Nalini went to the movies 11 day ago, She goes to the movies only on Saturday. What day of the week is today ?
  • a)
    Wednesday
  • b)
    Saturday
  • c)
    Tueday
  • d)
    Thursday
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pallavi Mishra answered
Given information: Nalini went to the movies 11 days ago, and she goes to the movies only on Saturday.

To find out the current day of the week, we need to count the number of Saturdays that have passed since the day Nalini went to the movies.

Counting Saturdays:

- The day Nalini went to the movies was a Saturday.
- Therefore, the next Saturday was 7 days after that.
- The Saturday after that was 7 days after the previous Saturday.
- We need to continue this process until we have counted 11 days.

Counting 11 days:

- Saturday (the day Nalini went to the movies)
- Next Saturday: 7 days later
- Saturday after that: 7 + 7 = 14 days later
- Saturday after that: 14 + 7 = 21 days later
- Saturday after that: 21 + 7 = 28 days later
- Saturday after that: 28 + 7 = 35 days later
- Saturday after that: 35 + 7 = 42 days later
- Saturday after that: 42 + 7 = 49 days later
- Saturday after that: 49 + 7 = 56 days later
- Saturday after that: 56 + 7 = 63 days later
- Saturday after that: 63 + 7 = 70 days later (which is today)

Therefore, today is a Thursday. Option D is correct.
