Total number of odd days = (0 + 3 + 1) odd days = 4 odd days. '
:. 1st July 2004 was 'Thursday',-,-
Thus, 1st Monday in July 2004 _as on 5th July.

Options- A. Tuesday
- B. Monday
- C. Sunday
- D. Wednesday Discuss
- Starting point:
- We know that 8th February 2005 was a Tuesday.
- We need to find out the day for 8th February 2004, which is one year earlier.
- Determine if 2004 was a leap year:
- 2004 was a leap year, which means it had 366 days (29th February).
- How to calculate the day of the week:
- To go from 8th February 2005 to 8th February 2004, we need to count the number of days in 2004.
- Since 2004 was a leap year, the number of days between 8th February 2004 and 8th February 2005 is 366 days.
- 366 days divided by 7 (number of days in a week) gives a remainder of 2. This means 8th February 2004 was 2 days earlier than 8th February 2005.
- Final Calculation:
- Starting from Tuesday (8th February 2005), we move back 2 days: Monday (1 day back), Sunday (2 days back).
- Final answer:
The day of the week on 8th February 2004 was Sunday.

Correct Answer: Saturday
Explanation:
First,we count the number of odd days for the left over days in the given period.Here,given period is 18.3.1994 to 25.2.1995
| Month | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Days | 13 | 30 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 31 | 25 |
| Odd Days | 6 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
Therefore, No. of Odd Days = 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 36 = 1 odd day
So, given day Friday + 1 = Saturday is the required result.
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
Given year is divided by 4, and the quotient gives the number of leap years.
Here, 100%4 = 25.
But, as 100 is not a leap year => 25 - 1= 24 leap years.
Correct Answer: Sunday
Explanation:
To determine the day of the week for 8th February 2004, we need to consider the number of days between 8th February 2004 and 8th February 2005. Here's how we can solve this:
Correct Answer: Thursday
Explanation:
First,we count the number of odd days for the left over days in the given period.
Here,given period is 12.2.1986 to 1.1.1987
Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan
16 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31 1 (left days)
2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1(odd days) = 1 odd day
So,given day Wednesday + 1 = Thursday is the required result.
Correct Answer: Thursday
Explanation:
We know that,
Odd days --> days more than complete weeks
Number of odd days in 400/800/1200/1600/2000 years are 0.
Hence, the number of odd days in first 1600 years are 0.
Number of odd days in 300 years = 1
Number of odd days in 49 years = (12 x 2 + 37 x 1) = 61 days = 5 odd days
Total number of odd days in 1949 years = 1 + 5 = 6 odd days
Now look at the year 1950
Jan 26 = 26 days = 3 weeks + 5 days = 5 odd days
Total number of odd days = 6 + 5 = 11 => 4 odd days
Odd days :-
0 = sunday ;
1 = monday ;
2 = tuesday ;
3 = wednesday ;
4 = thursday ;
5 = friday ;
6 = saturday
Therefore, Jan 26th 1950 was Thursday.
Correct Answer: 1999
Explanation:
NOTE :
Repetition of leap year ===> Add +28 to the Given Year.
Repetition of non leap year
Step 1 : Add +11 to the Given Year. If Result is a leap year, Go to step 2.
Step 2: Add +6 to the Given Year.
Solution :
Given Year is 1993, Which is a non leap year.
Step 1 : Add +11 to the given year (i.e 1993 + 11) = 2004, Which is a leap year.
Step 2 : Add +6 to the given year (i.e 1993 + 6) = 1999
Therfore, The calendar for the year 1993 will be same for the year 1999
Correct Answer: 72
Explanation:
Given year is divided by 4, and the quotient gives the number of leap years.
Here, 300%4 = 75.
But, as 100,200 and 300 are not leap years => 75 - 3= 72 leap years.
Correct Answer: 2029
Explanation:
How to find the years which have the same Calendars :
Leap year calendar repeats every 28 years.
Here 28 is distributed as 6 + 11 + 11.
Rules:
a) If given year is at 1st position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 6.
b) If given year is at 2nd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11.
c) If given year is at 3rd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11.
Now, the given year is 2018
We know that 2016 is a Leap year.
2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
LY 1st 2nd 3rd LY
Here 2018 is at 2 nd position after the Leap year.
According to rule ( b) the calendar of 2018 is repeated for the year is 2018 + 11 = 2029.
Correct Answer: Same day
Explanation:
We will show that the number of odd days between last day of February and last day of October is zero. .
March April May June July Aug. Sept. Oct.
31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31
= 241 days = 35 weeks = 0 odd day. ,Number of odd days during this period = 0.
Thus, 1st March of an year will be the same day as 1st November of that year. Hence, the result follows
Correct Answer: 2016
Explanation:
We already know that the calendar after a leap year repeats again after 28 years.
Here 1988 is a Leap year, then the same calendar will be in the year = 1988 + 28 = 2016.
