Explanation :

Answer: A) Sunday Explanation: The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days. But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005. So it has 1 odd day only. The day on 5th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 5th March, 2004. Given that, 5th March, 2005 is Monday. 5th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 5th March, 2005).

Answer : 2. "8%"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 8% Explanation: Let the shopkeeper buy 300g for Rs.300. Now he sells 100g for Rs.110, another 100g for Rs120, and the rest 100g for Rs94.    Therefore, the total amount he receives = Rs.110 + Rs.120 + Rs.94 = 324.    Therefore, the shopkeeper spends Rs.300 and gets back Rs.324.   Therefore, his profit percentage = 24300x100 % = 8%

Answer : 2. "FALSE"
Explanation :

Answer: B) FALSE Explanation: False. The ankle is not the third-class lever in the body.   Levers are typically labeled as first class, second class, or third class. All three types are found in the body, but most levers in the human body are third class. First-class levers in the human body are rare and have the axis (fulcrum) located between the weight (resistance) and the force. One example is the joint between the head and the first vertebra. In a second-class lever, the weight (resistance) is located between the axis (fulcrum) and the force. An example of a second-class lever in the human body is found in the lower leg when someone stands on tiptoes In a third-class lever, the most common in the human body, force is applied between the resistance (weight) and the axis (fulcrum). There are numerous third-class levers in the human body; one example can be illustrated in the elbow joint.

Answer : 3. "away from electrical wiring"
Explanation :

Answer: C) away from electrical wiring Explanation: A compass, which is used to assist in navigation, is an instrument that shows magnetic north. You must apply a correction to determine the direction of true north. The ability to steer a boat by a compass is useful if land is out of sight, visibility is reduced, or the boat operator is disoriented.   Mount a boat compass away from iron, magnets, and electrical wiring and equipment.
