  4.    Thursday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Wednesday
Given that 1st October is Sunday
Number of days in October = 31
31 days = 3 odd days
(As we can reduce multiples of 7 from odd days which will not change anything)

  1.    22th May
  2.    24th May

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 26th May
1 - May - 2007
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{1 + 2 + 7 + 1 + 6}}{7} \cr
& = \frac{{17}}{7} \cr
& = 3 \cr
& = {\text{Tuesday}} \cr} $$
= May 1st → Tuesday + 5 days = Saturday = 5th may
5th may + 7 days = Saturday = 12th may
12th may + 7 days = Saturday = 19th may
19th may + 7 days = Saturday = 26th may
= Answer = 26th may

  3.    4497 times
  4.    4447 times
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 4497 times
In 400 consecutive years there are 97 leap years. Hence, in 400 consecutive years February has the 29th day 97 times and the remaining eleven months have the 29th day 400 × 11 or 4400 times.
Thus the 29th day of the month occurs
= 4400 + 97
= 4497 times.

Number of Mondays in August = 5
