Solution

Let each interior angle be x and each exterior angle be y.
Now,
Interior angle = 180° - Exterior angle
x = 180°- y
x + y = 180° --- (1)
x - y = 90°--- (2)
Adding (1) and (2):
∴ Interior angle = 135°

180°n - 360° = 135°n
180°n - 135°n = 360°
45ºn = 360º

∴Number of sides of the regular polygon = 8

Solution

'Jack' is a proper name. It must start with a capital letter.
The sentence after the reporting verb is in direct speech. The reported speech has to be separated by inverted commas (" ") and we need to put a comma in between the reporting verb and the reported speech. The salutation 'Good morning' will end with the sign of exclamation (!) and the question (How do you ...) will end with a question mark.

In the year 1648, if February had 5 Sundays, then what was the day on 13^thFebruary, 1750?

A
Sunday

B
Friday

C
Saturday

D
Monday

Solution

Since February had 5 Sundays in 1648; therefore, 1^st February, 1648 was a Sunday.
Number of odd days up to 1^st February,1748 = 5
Number of odd days from 1^st February, 1748 to 1^st February, 1750 = (2 + 1) = 3
Number of odd days from 1^st February, 1750 to 13^th February, 1750 = 12
So, total number of odd days = 5 + 3 + 12 = 20 = 6 odd days
So, the answer is Saturday.
