Question 251. What is the year next to 1990 which will have the same calendar as that of the year 1990?
  1.    1992
  2.    2001
  3.    1995
  4.    1996
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2001
For a year to have the same calendar with 1990 ,total odd days from 1990 should be 0. Take the year 1992 from the given choices.
Total odd days in the period 1990-1991 = 2 normal years
⇒ 2 x 1 = 2 odd daysTake the year 1995 from the given choices.
Number of odd days in the period 1990-1994 = 4 normal years + 1 leap year
⇒ 4 x 1 + 1 x 2 = 6 odd daysTake the year 1996 from the given choices.
Number of odd days in the period 1990-1995 = 5 normal years + 1 leap year
⇒ 5 x 1 + 1 x 2 = 7 odd days = 0 odd days
(As we can reduce multiples of 7 from odd days which will not change anything) Though number of odd days in the period 1990-1995 is 0, there is a catch here.
1990 is not a leap year whereas 1996 is a leap year.
Hence calendar for 1990 and 1996 will never be the same.Take the year 2001 from the given choices.
Number of odd days in the period 1990-2000 = 8 normal years + 3 leap years
⇒ 8 x 1 + 3 x 2 = 14 odd days = 0 odd days
Also, both 1990 and 2001 are normal years.
Hence 1990 will have the same calendar as that of 2001
Question 252. Find the number of odd days in 126 years.
  1.    1
  2.    2
  3.    3
  4.    4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2
A period of 100 years has 5 odd days . In 26 years , 4 are leap, remaining are ordinary years
125 years = 100 years + 26 years
= 100 years + 6 leap years + 20 ordinary years
= 5 odd days + 12 odd days + 20 odd days
= 37 odd days = 5 x 7 +2 = 2 odd days
Question 253. How many odd days are there from 13th May, 2005 to 19th August 2005 (both inclusive)?
  1.    1
  2.    2
  3.    3
  4.    4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1
Here we have to count the number days from 13th May, 2005 to 18rd August 2005 ( both inclusive)
From 13th to 31st May = 19 days
In June = 30 days
In July = 31 days
From 1st to 19th April = 19 days
Total number of days = 19 + 30 + 31 + 19 = 99 days
The number of odd days are = 14 x 7 + 1 = 99
So there is 1 odd day in the given period
Question 254. If the day before yesterday was Thursday, when will Sunday be?
  1.    Today

  3.    Two days after today

Question 255. Prove that any date in March of a year is the same day of the week corresponding date in November that year.
  1.    Same day
  2.    Not same day
  3.    Next day
  4.    Previous day
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Same day
We will show that the number of odd days between last day of February and last day of October is zero.
March   April   May   June   July   Aug.   Sept.   Oct.
31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31
= 241 days
= 35 weeks
= 0 odd day
Number of odd days during this period = 0.
Thus, 1st March of an year will be the same day as 1st November of that year. Hence, the result follows
Question 256. Given that on 9th August 2016 is Saturday. What was the day on 9th August 1616 ?
  1.    Saturday
  2.    Sunday
  3.    Friday
  4.    Monday
 Discuss Question

i.e., on 9th August 1616 has to be Saturday.
Question 257. What was the day of the week on 16th August, 1947?
  1.    Sunday
  2.    Monday
  3.    Saturday
  4.    Thursday
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Saturday
15th August, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1st Jan., 1947 to 15th )
Counting of odd days:
1600 years have 0 odd day. 300 years have 1 odd day.
47 years = (11 leap years + 36 ordinary years)
= [(11 x 2) + (36 x 1) ] odd days
= 58 odd days
= 2 odd days
Jan   Feb   Mar   Apr   May   Jun   Jul   Aug
= 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15
= 227 days
= (32 weeks + 3 days)
= 3,
Total number of odd days
= (0 + 1 + 2 + 3) odd days
= 6 odd days.
Hence, the required day was 'Saturday'.
Question 258. The calendar for the year 1988 is same as which upcoming year ?
  1.    2012
  2.    2014
  3.    2016
  4.    2010
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2016
We already know that the calendar after a leap year repeats again after 28 years.
Here 1988 is a Leap year, then the same calendar will be in the year = 1988 + 28 = 2016.

  1.    Saturday
  2.    Friday
  3.    Sunday
