The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
So, the day on 8th Dec, 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day on 8th Dec, 2006.
But, 8th Dec, 2007 is Saturday.
So, 8th Dec, 2006 is Friday.
- 2014
- 2016
- 2017
- 2018
Count the number of odd days from the year 2007 onwards to get the sum equal to 0 odd day.
Year : 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
Odd day : 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1
Sum = 14 odd days \(\equiv\) 0 odd days.
So, Calendar for the year 2018 will be the same as for the year 2007.

An accurate clock shows 8 oclock in the morning. Through how may degrees will the hour hand rotate when the clock shows 2 oclock in the afternoon?
- 144º
- 150º
- 168º
- 180º
Angle traced by the hour hand in 6 hours = \(\left(\frac{360}{12}\times6\right)^{0} = 180^{0} \)
- 180º
- \(192\frac{1}{2}^{0}\)
- 195º
- \(197\frac{1}{2}^{0}\)
Angle traced by hour hand in \(\frac{125}{12}\) hrs =\(\left(\frac{360}{12}\times\frac{125}{12}\right)^{0}= 312\frac{1}{2}^{0}\)
Angle traced by minute hand in 25 min = \(\left(\frac{360}{50}\times25\right)^{0}=150^{0}\)
So, Reflex angle = 360º – \(\left( 312\frac{1}{2}^{0}-150\right)^{0}=360^{0}-162\frac{1}{2}^{0}=197\frac{1}{2}^{0}\)
