  2.    22
  3.    23
  4.    24
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 24
Mentioned month begins on a Saturday and has 30 days
Sundays = 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th
⇒ Total Sundays = 5
Every second Saturday is holiday.
1 second Saturday in every month
Total days in the month = 30
Total working days = 30 - (5 + 1) = 24

  1.    Monday
  2.    Tuesday
  3.    Wednesday
  4.    Thursday
 Discuss Question

Total number of days = 30 × 365 + 8 days from leap years = 10958

Question 223. What day of the week was 1st January 1901
  1.    Monday
  2.    Tuesday
  3.    Wednesday
  4.    Thursday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Tuesday
1st Jan 1901 = (1900 years + 1st Jan 1901)
We know that number of odd days in 400 years = 0
Hence the number of odd days in 1600 years = 0 (Since 1600 is a perfect multiple of 400)
Number of odd days in the period 1601 - 1900
= Number of odd days in 300 years
= 5 x 3 = 15 = 1
(As we can reduce perfect multiples of 7 from odd days without affecting anything)
1st Jan 1901 = 1 odd day
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 1) = 2
2 odd days = Tuesday
Hence 1 January 1901 is Tuesday.
Question 224. January 1, 2004 was a Thursday, what day of the week lies on January 1, 2005.
  1.    Wednesday
  2.    Thursday
  3.    Friday
  4.    Saturday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Saturday
Given that January 1, 2004 was Thursday.
Odd days in 2004 = 2 (because 2004 is a leap year)
(Also note that we have taken the complete year 2004 because we need to find out the odd days from 01-Jan-2004 to 31-Dec-2004, that is the whole year 2004)
Hence January 1, 2005 = (Thursday + 2 odd days) = Saturday
Question 225. What is two weeks from today?
  1.    Same day
  2.    Previous day
  3.    Next day
  4.    None
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Same day
We know that the day repeats every 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, .........
So if today is Monday, after 7 days it is again Monday, after 14 days again it is Monday.
Hence, after 2 weeks i.e, 14 days the day repeats and is the same day.
Question 226. What was the day on 16th June,1993?
  1.    Saturday
  2.    Monday
  3.    Wednesday
  4.    Friday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Wednesday
16 June, 1993 = (1992 years + Period from 1.1.1993 to 16.6.1993)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = 1
92 years = (69 ordinary years + 23 leap year) = (69 x 1 + 23 x 2)= 3 odd days
Jan. Feb. March April May June
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 16 ) = 167 days
167 days = (23 weeks + 6 days) =6 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 3 + 6) = 3 odd days.
Given day is Wednesday.
Question 227. Which century year is a leap year?

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 23
Calculating Age has 2 conditions. Let your Birthday is on January 1st.
1. If the month in which you are born is completed in the present year i.e, your birthday, then
Your Age = Present year - Year you are born
As of now, present year = 2018
i.e, Age = 2018 - 1995 = 23 years.
2. If the month in which you are born is not completed in the present year i.e, your birthday, then
Your Age = Last year - Year you are born
As of now, present year = 2018
i.e, Age = 2017 - 1995 = 22 years.
