Correct Answer: Thursday
Explanation:
The year 2008 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.
1st day of the year 2008 is Tuesday (Given)
So, 1st day of the year 2009 is 2 days beyond Tuesday.
Hence, it will be Thursday.
Correct Answer: Sunday

The year 2004 is a leap year. It has 2 odd days.
∴ The day on 8th Feb, 2004 is 2 days before the day on 8th Feb, 2005.
Hence, this day is Sunday.
Correct Answer: Tuesday
Explanation:
The year 2007 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
1st day of the year 2007 was Monday.
1st day of the year 2008 will be 1 day beyond Monday.
Hence, it will be Tuesday.
Correct Answer: Sunday
Explanation:
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).
Correct Answer: Wednesday
Explanation:
17 th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) ≡ 1
97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
∴ 168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
Given day is Wednesday.
Correct Answer: 700
Explanation:
The century divisible by 400 is a leap year.
∴ The year 700 is not a leap year.
Correct Answer: Friday
Explanation:
On 31 st December, 2005 it was Saturday.
Number of odd days from the year 2006 to the year 2009 = (1 + 1 + 2 + 1) = 5 days.
∴ On 31st December 2009, it was Thursday.
Thus, on 1st Jan, 2010 it is Friday.
Correct Answer: 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
Explanation:
We shall find the day on 1 st April, 2001. 1 st 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.

Correct Answer: 23 years
Explanation:
Let the average age of the whole team by x years.
∴ 11x - (26 + 29) = 9(x -1)
⟹ 11x - 9x = 46
⟹ 2x = 46
⟹ x = 23.
So, average age of the team is 23 years.
