Today is Monday. After 61 days, it will be :
Answer: D
Only the remainder on division by 7 matters - the odd days.
\[ 61 = 8 \times 7 + 5 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 5 \text{ odd days} \]
Counting five days on from Monday:
\[ \text{Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, } \mathbf{Sat} \]
The eight complete weeks return to Monday and contribute nothing.

On what dates of April, 2001 did Wednesday fall?
Answer: D
We shall find the day on 1st April, 2001.
1st April, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1) = 91 days 
0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0
On 1st April, 2001 it was Sunday.
In April, 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.

How much does a clock lose per day, if its hands coincide ever 65 minutes ?
Answer: A
In a correct clock the hands coincide every
\[ \frac{720}{11} = 65\tfrac{5}{11} \text{ minutes} \]
Here they take 65 minutes, slightly less, so the clock is running fast - and the conventional measure of the discrepancy is
\[ \frac{720}{11} - 65 = \frac{5}{11} \text{ minutes per interval} \]
There are \( \tfrac{1440}{65} \) such intervals in a day:
\[ \frac{5}{11} \times \frac{1440}{65} = \frac{7200}{715} = \frac{1440}{143} \text{ minutes} \]
That is about 10.07 minutes - a much smaller discrepancy than the 64-minute case, because 65 is far closer to \( 65\tfrac{5}{11} \).
