15th august 2010 was which day of the week?
Sunday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
15th August, 2010 = (2009 years + Period 1.1.2010 to 15.8.2010)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
9 years = (2 leap years + 7 ordinary years) = (2 × 2 + 7 × 1) = 11 = 4 odd days.
Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15) = 227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 4 + 3) = 7 = 0 odd days.
The given day is Sunday.
Hence, the correct answer is Sunday.

Answer with explanation
Answer: Option CExplanation
Explanation
16 July, 1776
= (1775 years + period from 1.1.1776 to 16.7.1776.
Checking of odd days.
No. of odd days in 1600 years =0
No. of odd days in 100 years = 5
75 years= 18 jump years+57 conventional years
= (18*2+57*1) odd days = 93 odd days
= (13 weeks +2 days) = 2 odd days.
∴ 1775 years have= (0+5+2) odd days= 7 days= 0 days
Jan + Feb. + March + April + May + June + July
31 +29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 +16 = 198 days
198 days = (28 weeks+2 days) = 2 odd days

If 6th March, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 6th March, 2004?
Saturday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Sunday
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
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 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.
Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.
∴ 6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).

85 days
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
Here we have to count the number days from 3rd February, 2012 to 18th April 2012 ( both inclusive)
The given year is leap year, So February month has 29 days
From 3rd to 29th February = 27 days
In March = 31 days
From 1st to 18th April = 18 days
Total number of days = 27 + 31 + 18 = 76 days

4487 times
4497 times
4487 times
4447 times

In 400 consecutive years, there are 97 leap years. Hence, in 400 consecutive years, February has the 29th day 97 times and the remaining eleven months have the 29th day 400 × 11 or 4400 times.
Thus the 29th day of the month occurs
= 4400 + 97

2.12.91 is the first Tuesday. Which is the fourth Thursday of December 91?
22.12.91
25.12.91
24.12.91
23.12.91
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
Given that 2.12.91 is the first Tuesday
Hence we can assume that 4.12.91 is the first Thursday
If we add 7 days to 4.12.91, we will get second Thursday
If we add 14 days to 4.12.91, we will get third Thursday
If we add 21 days to 4.12.91, we will get fourth Thursday
=> fourth Thursday = (4.12.91 + 21 days) = 25.12.91.

The maximum gap between two successive leap year is?
4
8
10
11
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
This can be illustrated with an example.
Ex: 1896 is a leap year.The next leap year comes in 1904 (1900 is not a leap year).
Explanation : The length of the solar year, however, is slightly less than 365 1/4 days-by about 11 minutes. To compensate for this discrepancy, the leap year is omitted three times every four hundred years.
In other words, a century year cannot be a leap year unless it is divisible by 400. Thus 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but 1600, 2000, and 2400 are leap years.

What is the year next to 1990 which will have the same calendar as that of the year 1990?
1992
2001
1996
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
For a year to have the same calendar with 1990, total odd days from 1990 should be 0. Take the year 1992 from the given choices.
Total odd days in the period 1990-1991 = 2 normal years
⇒ 2 x 1 = 2 odd days Take the year 1995 from the given choices.
Number of odd days in the period 1990-1994 = 4 normal years + 1 leap year
⇒ 4 x 1 + 1 x 2 = 6 odd days Take the year 1996 from the given choices.
Number of odd days in the period 1990-1995 = 5 normal years + 1 leap year
⇒ 5 x 1 + 1 x 2 = 7 odd days = 0 odd days
(As we can reduce multiples of 7 from odd days which will not change anything) Though number of odd days in the period 1990-1995 is 0, there is a catch here.
1990 is not a leap year whereas 1996 is a leap year.
Hence calendar for 1990 and 1996 will never be the same.Take the year 2001 from the given choices. Number of odd days in the period 1990-2000 = 8 normal years + 3 leap years
⇒ 8 x 1 + 3 x 2 = 14 odd days = 0 odd days
Also, both 1990 and 2001 are normal years.
Hence 1990 will have the same calendar as that of 2001

If it was Thursday on Aug 15, 2012, then what was the day on June 11, 2013?
Wednesday
Monday
Saturday
Tuesday
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
First, we count the number of odd days for the left over days in the given period.
Here, given period is from 15.8.2012 to 11.6.2013
Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
16 30 31 30 31 31 28 31 30 31 11(left days)
Therefore, 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 0 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 4 (odd days) = 6 odd days
So, the given day Thursday + 6 = Wednesday.

Pinky was born on 29th, Feb 2016 which happened to be a Monday. If she lives to be till 2099, how many birthdays would she celebrate on a Monday?
1
2
3
5
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
29th Feb, 2016 = Monday => 28th Feb, 2012 = Sunday
28th Feb, 2017 = Tuesday (because 2016 is a leap year, there will be 2 odd days)
Therefore» Feb 28th 2018 (Wednesday), Feb 28th 2019 (Thursday), Feb 28th 2020 (Friday), Feb 29th 2020 (Saturday)
Or, Feb 29th to Feb 29th after 4 years, we have 5 odd days.
So, every subsequent birthday, would come after 5 odd days.
2020 birthday – 5 odd days
2024 birthday – 10 odd days = 3 odd days
2028 birthday – 8 odd days = 1 odd day
2032 birthday – 6 odd days
2036 birthday – 11 odd days = 4 odd days
2040 birthday – 9 odd days = 2 odd days
2044 birthday – 7 odd days = 0 odd days. So, after 28 years, his birthday would fall on Monday.
The next birthday on Monday would be in year 2072 (further 28 years later), the one after that would be in year 2100. But we are told that she lives upto year 2099.
So, there are 2 occurrences of his birthday falling on Monday – 2044 & 2072.
