Calendar Problem

1. To determine the day of a given date, first take the last two digits of the year and divide by 4, ignoring the remainder. Then add the day of the month and the month code. Add the century code and the last two digits of the year, then divide the total by 7 and refer to the day code for the remainder. 2. For the example date of January 27, 2008, the calculations determine the day is a Monday.

HOW TO KNOW THE DAY GIVEN ANY DATE

HOW TO KNOW THE DAY GIVEN ANY DATE


This will be useful for Paper I - General Aptitude. These kind of questions are
common in many competitive exams. Given a date, we are asked to give the
day corresponding to that date. The following steps have to be followed for
doing it. Before that, we should remember some values. They are,
CENTURY CODE
1700 - 4
1800 - 2
1900 - 0
2000 - 6
2100 - 4
2200 - 2
2300 - 0
MONTH CODE
JANUARY - 1
FEBRUARY - 4
MARCH - 4
APRIL - 0
MAY - 2
JUNE - 5
JULY - 0

AUGUST - 3
SEPTEMBER - 6
OCTOBER - 1
NOVEMBER - 4
DECEMBER - 6
DAY CODE
SUNDAY - 1
MONDAY - 2
TUESDAY - 3
WEDNESDAY - 4
THURSDAY - 5
FRIDAY - 6
SATURDAY - 0
Let us take an example. The date considered is January 27,2008.
1. Take the last two digits of the year and divide the number by 4, drop the
remainder.
8/4=2
2. Add the day of the month to that number.
27 + 2 = 29
3. Add month code to the answer. Refer above for the month code.
29 + 1 = 30

4. Add century code to it. Refer above for the century code.
30 + 6 = 36
5. Take the result. Add last 2 digits of the year.
36 + 8 = 44
6. Divide the number by 7. Take only the remainder.
44 / 7 = Quotient is 6, Remainder is 2
7. Refer to the day code above. Since the remainder is 2, the day is MONDAY
So, JANUARY 27,2008 is a MONDAY.
