100 years have 5 odd days.
75 years = (18 leap years + 57 ordinary years) = [(18 x 2) + (57 x 1)] = 93 (13 weeks + 2 days) = 2 odd days
1775 years have (0 + 5 + 2) odd days = 7 odd days = 0 odd day.Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul
31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 16 = 198 days= (28 weeks + 2 days)

Correct Answer: Saturday
Explanation:
Each day of the week is repeated after 7 days. So, after 63 days, it will be Monday.
After 61 days, it will be Saturday.
Correct Answer: Friday
Correct Answer: 2 km/hr
Explanation:
If the speed downstream is a kmph and the speedup stream is b kmph then
Speed of the stream = 1/2 x (a?b) kmph
Speed downstream a = 12kmph
Speed upstream b = 8 kmph
Speed of the stream = 1/2 x (a?b) = 1/2 x (12?8)= 4/2 = 2 kmph
Correct Answer: 105 km
Explanation:
Let the speed of boat in still water is ?x? km/hr & that of stream is ?y? km/hr.
Then, ATQ
(x+y)/y = 9/1 9y = x + y
x = 8y
y = 3 km/hr
So, x = 24 km/hr
Upstream speed = 24-3 = 21 km/hr
Hence, distance travelled upstream in 5 hours = 21*5 = 105 km.
Correct Answer: 10.5
Correct Answer: Friday
Explanation:
On 31st December, 2005 it was Saturday.
Number of odd days from the year 2006 to the year 2009 = (1 + 1 + 2 + 1) = 5 days.
therfore, on 31st December 2009, it was Thursday.
Thus, on 1st Jan, 2010 it is Friday
Correct Answer: Sunday
Explanation:
28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) 6 odd days
Jan. Feb. March April May
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 28 ) = 148 days
148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) 1 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 0 odd day.
Given day is Sunday.
Correct Answer: 8x
Explanation:
x weeks x days = (7x + x) days = 8x days.
Correct Answer: Sunday
Explanation:
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 x 2 + 7 x 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.
Given day is Sunday
Correct Answer: 4th,11th,18th,25th
Explanation:
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.
