Sankar Menon answered


Analysis:

Given Information:
- The bus for Delhi leaves every thirty minutes.
- The bus had already left 15 minutes ago.
- The next bus will leave at &@ AM.

Solution:
- Since the bus leaves every thirty minutes, the next bus will leave 15 minutes after the last one.
- The last bus left 15 minutes ago, so the next bus will leave in another 15 minutes.
- This means the next bus will leave at &@ AM.
- Therefore, the time when the clerk gave the information to the passenger is $@ AM.

Therefore, the correct answer is option c) $@.

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: &.

  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anmol Mehta answered
Explanation:

Given:
- The day before yesterday was Tuesday.

Calculations:
- If the day before yesterday was Tuesday, then yesterday was Monday.
- Therefore, today is Wednesday.
- So, the day after tomorrow will be Thursday.
- And the day after Thursday is Friday.
- Hence, Saturday will be the day after tomorrow.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option C) Day after Tomorrow.

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
Anish’s mother remembers that her wedding day before #. According to her brother after @. Anish wedding day on which date?(Date should be odd number)
  • a)
    5
  • b)
    7
  • c)
    9
  • d)
    Either 5 or 7
  • e)
    Either 7 or 9
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sreemoyee Dey answered
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.

In the given clock, the symbols represent time as follows:

11. The symbol with a dot in the middle represents the hour hand at 2 o'clock and the minute hand at 12 o'clock.

12. The symbol with a dot at the top represents the hour hand at 12 o'clock and the minute hand at 6 o'clock.

13. The symbol with a dot at the bottom represents the hour hand at 6 o'clock and the minute hand at 12 o'clock.

14. The symbol with two dots on top represents the hour hand at 10 o'clock and the minute hand at 12 o'clock.

Sreemoyee Dey answered
Understanding the Symbols
The symbols represent dates in a specific way:
- # – 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 Wedding Dates
Anish’s mother recalls her wedding day occurring *before* the date represented by #. This means the wedding can only be on a date *less than 8*.
The brother mentions that Anish's wedding day is after the date represented by @, which indicates it is *greater than 3*.
Finding Possible Dates
From the information gathered:
- The wedding date must be an *odd number* and is less than 8 and greater than 3.
- The odd numbers in this range are: 5 and 7.
Therefore, the possible dates for Anish’s wedding day are:
- 5
- 7
Conclusion: Possible Options
Since both 5 and 7 fit the criteria provided by Anish's mother and brother, the correct answer would be:
- Either 5 or 7
Thus, the answer is option 'D'.

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.

- % – 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'.
