  2.    1200
  3.    2500
  4.    1700
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1200
When a century year leaves a remainder 0, when divided by 400 then it is a leap year (366 days).
So, 1200 has 366 days.
Question 212. On 17th March, 1997 Monday falls. What day of the week was it on 17th March, 1996?
  1.    Monday
  2.    Tuesday
  3.    Saturday
  4.    Sunday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Sunday
The year 1996 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days. But 17th March comes after 29th February.
So, the day on 17th March, 1997 will be 1 day beyond the day on 17th March,1996.
Here 17th March, 1997 is Monday. So, 17th March, 1996 is Sunday.
Question 213. What is 90 days from today?
(Hints : Today is 20th January 2017, Sunday)
  1.    18th
  2.    20th
  3.    21th
  4.    19th
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 20th
Given Today is 20th January 2017, Sunday
In january, we have 31 days
February - 28 days (Non leap year)
March - 31 days
April - 30 days
⇒ Remaining days = 31 - 20 = 11 in Jan
11 in Jan + 28 in Feb + 31 in Mar = 11 + 28 + 31 = 70 days
More 20 days to complete 90 days ⇒ upto 20th April
Therefore, after 90 days from today i.e, 20th Jan 2017 is 20th Apr 2017.
Now, the day of the week will be
$$\frac{{90}}{7}$$ ⇒ Remainder '6'
As the day starts with '0' on sunday
6 ⇒ Saturday.
Required day is 20th April, Saturday.
Question 214. On 24th Nov, 2007 Thursday falls. What day of the week was it on 10th Nov, 2006 ?
  1.    Wednesday
  2.    Tuesday
  3.    Friday
  4.    Thursday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Wednesday
The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
So, the day on 24th Nov, 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day on 24th Nov, 2006.
But, 24th Nov, 2007 is Thursday.
24 - 10 = 14 days.
Therefore, 2 weeks ago it is same day.
Thus, 10th Nov, 2006 is one day before 10th Nov, 2007 i.e. it is Wednesday.
Question 215. If 6th March, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 6th March, 2004?
  1.    Sunday
  2.    Saturday
  3.    Tuesday
  4.    Wednesday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Sunday
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).
Question 216. How many days are there in x weeks x days?
  1.    7x2
  2.    8x
  3.    14x
  4.    7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 8x
x weeks x days = (7x + x) days = 8x days.
Question 217. The last day of a century cannot be
  1.    Monday
  2.    Wednesday
  3.    Tuesday
  4.    Friday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Tuesday
100 years contain 5 odd days.
∴ Last day of 1st century is Friday.
200 years contain (5 x 2) ≡ 3 odd days.
∴ Last day of 2nd century is Wednesday.
300 years contain (5 x 3) = 15 ≡ 1 odd day.
∴ Last day of 3rd century is Monday.
400 years contain 0 odd day.
∴ Last day of 4th century is Sunday.
This cycle is repeated.
∴ Last day of a century cannot be Tuesday or Thursday or Saturday.
Question 218. On what dates of April, 2001 did Wednesday fall?
  1.    1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th

  3.    3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th
  4.    4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
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.
Question 219. On 8th Feb, 2005 it was Tuesday. What was the day of the week on 8th Feb, 2004?
  1.    Tuesday
  2.    Monday
  3.    Sunday
  4.    Wednesday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 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.
Question 220. Today is 5th August. The day of the week is Wednesday. This is a leap year. What will be the day of the week on this date after 3 years?
  1.    Wednesday
  2.    Thursday
  3.    Friday
  4.    Saturday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Saturday
This is a leap year.
So, none of the next 3 years will be leap years.
Each ordinary year has one odd day, so there are 3 odd days in next 3 years.
So the day of the week will be 3 odd days beyond Wednesday i.e. it will be Saturday
