On which date of month was Harish born in February 2000?

Statements:
I. Harish was born on an even date of the month.
II. Harish’s birth date was a prime number.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 4

Statements:
I. Harish was born on an even date of the month → 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28
II. Harish’s birth date was a prime number → 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29
But we know that 2 is the smallest even prime number.

Hence, Option (1) is correct.

MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 5

The dates 3rd April, 2005; 6th August, 2010 and 5th December, 2013 when written in Date-Month-Year Form have a unique mathematical property. The Indian Independence Day of which year among the following has the same property?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 5

Logic: If we see carefully we can find that these dates have property yy= dd+ mm2
3rd April, 2005 - 03/04/05  
(05)2 = (03)2 + (04)2
6th August, 2010 - 06/08/10
(10)2 = (06)+ (08)2
5th December, 2013 - 05/12/13
(13)2 = (05)2 + (12)2
Similarly,
Independence day 2017 - 15 August 2017 - 15/08/17
By above logic: (17)2 = (15)2 + (08)2  
No other option satisfy the above condition. So, Indian Independence Day of 2017 has the same property.
Hence, option 1) is the correct answer.

MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 6

15th October 1984 will fall on which of the following days?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 6

The logic followed here is:
1600 years contain 0 odd day, 300 years contain 1 odd day. Also, 83 years contain 20 leap years and 63 ordinary years and therefore (40+0) odd days i.e., 5 odd days.
∴ 1983 years contain (0 + 1 + 5) i.e., 6 odd days.
Number of days from Jan. 1984 to 15th Oct. 1984
= (31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 +31+ 31 + 30 + 15)
= 289 days = 2 odd days
∴ Total number of odd days = 6 + 2 = 1 odd days.
So, 15th Oct, 1984 was Monday.
Hence, the correct answer is "Monday".

MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 7

What is the measure of the angle formed by the hands of the clock at 2'o clock?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 7

Calculation:   
The angle between two digits = 30° 
⇒ At 2'o clock one hand will be on 12 and second hand will be on 2 So, 30° × 2 = 60° 
∴ At 2'o clock angles between hands will be 60°.
The correct option is 3 i.e. 60° 

MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 8

⇒ 270°
Hence Total angle rotated = 270°

MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 10

Which of the following was a leap year?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 10

Concept:
A leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365 days. It occurs every four years, except for years that are divisible by 100 but not by 400.

1998 is not a leap year because it is not divisible by 4.
2002 is not a leap year because it is divisible by 100 but not by 400.
2014 is not a leap year because it is not divisible by 4.
2004 is a leap year because it is divisible by 4.
Therefore, 2004 is the only leap year.

MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 11

If 3 March 2020 was Tuesday, then what was the day of the week on 3 February 2019?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 11

The logic followed here is:
3 march 2020 was Tuesday
First of all we will check is 2020 is a leap year 2020/4
so, 2020 is a leap year therefore February has 29 days.
Now, we will check days between 4 Feb 2020 - 3 march 2020
i.e. 26 + 3 odd days
= 29/7( because week has 7 days )
remainder is 1 by dividing it
so we will -1 in Tuesday i.e. Monday
therefore 3 Feb 2020 is Monday
but, we have to find 3 Feb 2019
then we will do -1 in Monday
so, on 3 February 2019 is Sunday
Hence, Sunday is the correct answer.

MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 12

January 1, 2018 was Monday. Then January 1, 2019 falls on the day:

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 12

Given - 
January 1, 2018 was Monday

Concept used - 
in a normal year number of days = 365
number of odd days = (365/7) = + 1

1 January 2018 = Monday
1 January 2019 = Monday + 1 = Tuesday
∴ January 1, 2019 = Tuesday  

MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 13

Directions: Question below is followed by two statements, I and II. Read the statements given and mark the answer.

Is it Friday today?
I. February 15 of this year was a Wednesday.
II. Today is March 12.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Clock and Calendar - 2 - Question 13

Statement I: February 15 of this year was a Wednesday: We cannot get what is today’s date.
Statement II: Today is March 12: We can’t tell which day today is, it can be any day.
Taking both the statements together: We cannot tell whether it is Friday or not because we don’t know if the year is leap year or not.
Hence both the statements were not enough to give the answer.

⇒ January 22, 2030 = Tuesday
As, for each month dates 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 comes on same week day.
⇒ January 1, 2030 = Tuesday
⇒ January 4, 2030 = Friday
⇒ January 4, 2029 = Thursday
As after every leap year, dates will move two days further and 2028 is a leap year. Leap year is a year which is divisible by 4 and having 366 days.
∴ January 4, 2028 = Tuesday
