(a) 30
(b) 32 (Ans)
(c) 23
(d) 36
Explanations : No.of the owners of cars
= 20/100 of 80 = 16
∴ No. of the remaining of families = 80 - 16 = 64
No. of the owners of motor cycles = 50/80 of 64 = 32
∴ No. of those families which do not have own any vehicle = 80 - (16 + 32) = 32

15. If John celebrated his victory day on Tuesday, 5th January 1965, when will he celebrate his next victory day on the same day ?
(a) 5th January, 1970
(b) 5th January, 1971
