Keywords: Date calculation, day of the week, calendar. Required Approach: Factual. This question requires a straightforward calculation based on the principles of the Gregorian calendar. No opinion or analysis is needed. Points to Remember: The number of days in each month. Leap years and their impact on day calculations. The pattern of days of the … Read more If 05th January, 2000 is Monday, then what would be the day on 30th March, 2000?

Points to Remember: Distinguishing between cause and effect requires understanding the temporal relationship (what happens first) and the causal link (how one event leads to another). In complex systems, multiple causes can contribute to a single effect, and a single cause can have multiple effects. Introduction: The question asks us to identify the cause-and-effect relationship … Read more In the following statements, identify which one is the cause and which one is the effect?Statement I: Uttarkashi is very prone to earthquakes.Statement II: According to seismologists, there is a lot of tectonic activity going on in the down belt of Uttarkashi.

Points to Remember: The algebraic sum of deviations from the mean is always zero. The arithmetic mean is the sum of observations divided by the number of observations. We can use the property of deviations to solve this problem. Introduction: This question involves a fundamental concept in statistics: the arithmetic mean and the properties of … Read more The algebraic sum of the deviations of 20 observations, measured from 30, is 4. Find the arithmetic mean of these observations.

Points to Remember: The question involves percentage calculations. We need to find what percentage of 500C is equal to 500% of C. The solution requires understanding of percentage calculations and algebraic manipulation. Introduction: This question tests the understanding of percentage calculations. A percentage is a fraction or ratio expressed as a number out of 100. … Read more C is a positive number. What % of 500 C, is 500% of C?

Points to Remember: The analogy involves letter manipulation. We need to identify the pattern between “BUCKET” and “ACTVBDJLDFSU” to apply it to “BONUS”. The solution requires a systematic approach to decipher the code. Introduction: This question presents a word analogy puzzle. An analogy demonstrates a relationship between two things, suggesting a similarity or correspondence. In … Read more Find the missing term in the following analogy: BUCKET : ACTVBDJLDFSU :: BONUS 😕
