1600 years contain 0 odd day.
300 years contain 1 odd day.
94 years = (23 leap years + 71 ordinary years)
= (46 + 71) odd days
= 117 odd days, i.e., 5 odd days
Days from 1st January 1995 to 28th February 1995
= (31 + 28) days = 59 days
= (8 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days
∴ Total number of odd days
= (0 + 1 + 5 + 3) = 9 odd days i.e., 2 odd days.
So, the required day is Tuesday.

Recent Answer : Added by Abhi Chatterjee On 2022-01-08 16:05:35:

Let the number be x.

So x-2 =15/x, or

x^2–2x-15=0, or

(x-5)(x+3)=0

Hence x = 5 or -3.

Check: When x=5, 5–2=3 which is 15/5=3.

When x=-3, -3–2=-5 which is 15/-3=-5.

The number is 5 or -3.

Ques:- Three friends divided some bullets equally. After all of them shot 4 bullets the total number of bullets remaining is equal to the bullets each had after division. Find the original number divided?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:02:

Ans =18
Explanation:
Assume that initial there were 3*X bullets.
So they got X bullets each after division.
All of them shot 4 bullets. So now they have (X – 4)
bullets each.
But it is given that,after they shot 4 bullets each, total
number of bullets remaining is equal to the bullets each
had after division i.e. X
Therefore, the equation is
3 * (X – 4) = X
3 * X – 12 = X
2 * X = 12
X = 6
Therefore the total bullets before division is = 3 * X = 18
