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

Answer: Option B. -> Tuesday
Total number of days = 30 × 365 + 8 days from leap years = 10958
Thus number of weeks = 1565
Hence December 9, 1971 must have been Tuesday.
Total number of days = 30 × 365 + 8 days from leap years = 10958
Thus number of weeks = 1565
Hence December 9, 1971 must have been Tuesday.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Answer: Option C. -> 1600
For an century year,it is divided by 400,when leaves a remainder 0 then it is a leap year.
So, 1600
For an century year,it is divided by 400,when leaves a remainder 0 then it is a leap year.
So, 1600
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.

Answer: Option B. -> Wednesday
2nd Jan 1901 means
(1900 years and 2 day)
Now, 1600 years have 0 odd day
300 years have 1 odd day
2 days has 2 odd day
Total no. of odd days = 0 + 1 + 2 = 3 days
Hence, the day on 2nd Jan 1901 was Wednesday.
2nd Jan 1901 means
(1900 years and 2 day)
Now, 1600 years have 0 odd day
300 years have 1 odd day
2 days has 2 odd day
Total no. of odd days = 0 + 1 + 2 = 3 days
Hence, the day on 2nd Jan 1901 was Wednesday.
Answer: Option C. -> Friday
There is exactly 1 year, (365 days) between two dates.
2006 is an ordinary year. It has one odd day.
The day of the week on January 12th 2007 is one day beyond Thursday ⇒ Friday
