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).

How many days are there from 3rd February, 2012 to 18th April 2012 (both inclusive)?
75 days
55 days
65 days
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 = 30 days
From 1st to 18th April = 18 days
Total number of days = 27 + 30 + 18 = 75 days

How many times does the 29th day of the month occur in 400 consecutive years?
4487 times
4497 times
4487 times
4447 times
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
Consider a set of every four years (So as to include the leap year with Feb 29).
So in 3 years, 29 will occur 11 times, and once it would occur 12 times.
So in 4 years, there will be 3*11 + 12 = 45 days in which you will have 29th.
So in 400 years, it would be 4500 times.
Any year that is a multiple of 100, will not be a leap year, unless it is also a multiple of 400.
So years like 100,200,300 are not leap years.
So 4500-3 = 4497 Days with date as 29th.
So,the answer is 4497 times.
