Explanation15th August, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1st Jan., 1947 to 15th )
Counting of odd days:
1600 years have 0 odd day. 300 years have 1 odd day.
47 years = (11 leap years + 36 ordinary years)= [(11 x 2) + (36 x 1) ]odd days = 58 odd days = 2 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,
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 3) odd days = 6 odd days.
Hence, the required day was 'Saturday'.

Here 1988 is a Leap year, then the same calendar will be in the year = 1988 + 28 = 2016.

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.

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: 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: Sunday
Explanation:
First,we count the number of odd days for the left over days in the given period.Here,given period is 09-07-2013 to 07-01-2014
| Month | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec | Jan |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Days | 22 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 7 |
| Odd Days | 1 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 0 |
Therefore, No. of Odd Days = 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 0 = 14 = 0 odd days
So, given day Sunday + 0 = Saturday is the required result.
Correct Answer: 2011
Explanation:
NOTE :
Repetition of leap year ===> Add +28 to the Given Year.
Repetition of non leap year

Step 2 : Add +6 to the given year (i.e 2005 + 6) = 2011
Therfore, The calendar for the year 2005 will be same for the year 2011
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:

2nd & 4th Saturday in every month = 2
Total days in the month = 31
Total working days = 31 - (5 + 2) = 24 days.
