Correct answer: 07:39 p.mBuses leave every 52 minutes, so the one before the 8:15 bus left at \( 8{:}15 - 52\text{ min} = 7{:}23 \). That bus had gone sixteen minutes earlier, which puts the conversation at \[ 7{:}23 + 16\text{ min} = \mathbf{7{:}39\ p.m.} \]

Q: How many 3’s are there in the following sequence which is neither preceded by nor immediately followed by 9? 9 3 6 6 3 9 5 9 3 7 8 9 1 6 3 9 6 3 9

If it is possible to form a number with the second, the fifth and the eighth digits of the number 31549786, which is the perfect square of a two - digit even number, which of the following will be the second digit of that even number ?

A.1
B.4
C.6
D.None of these

Answer: B

The 2nd, 5th and 8th digits of the number 31549786 are 1, 9 and 6 respectively.

The perfect square of a two - digit even number, formed using the digits 1, 9 and 6 is 196.

And, 14 x 14 = 196

So, the required even number is 14. Clearly, its second digit is 4.

Hence, the answer is (b).
