CALENDAR
Leap Year:
Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year, if it is not a
century.
Every 4th century is a leap year and no other century is a
leap year.eg 400 is leap year , 200 is not leap year
A leap year has 366 days.

Ordinary Year:
The year which is not a leap year is called an ordinary
Years.
An ordinary year has 365 days.(52 complete Weeks)
CALENDAR
Examples:
Each of the years 1948, 2004, 1676 etc. is a leap
year.(because they are divisible by 4)

Each of the years 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 etc. is a leap
year.(because they are divisible by 400)

None of the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 1800, 2100 is a


leap year.
Odd Days:

In a given period, the number of days more


than the complete weeks are called odd days.
Counting of Odd Days
 1 ordinary year = 365 days = 52 weeks( i.e 52 X 7=364
days) + 1 day.
So, 1 ordinary year has 1 odd day.
 1 leap year = 366 days = (52 weeks + 2 days)
So, 1 leap year has 2 odd days.
 100 years = 76 ordinary years + 24 leap years
= (76 x 1 + 24 x 2) odd days = 124 odd days.
= (17 weeks + 5days)
So, Number of odd days in 100 years = 5.
Counting of Odd Days
 Number of odd days in 200 years = 3 odd days.
 Number of odd days in 300 years = 1 odd day.
 Number of odd days in 400 years = (5 x 4 + 1)
= 0 odd day.

 Similarly, each one of 800 years, 1200 years, 1600


years, 2000 years etc. has 0 odd days.
Year Odd Days
Ordinary Year 1
Leap Year 2
100 Years 5
200 Years 5+5=10%7=3 odd Days
300 Years 5+5+5=15%7=1 odd Day
400 Years 0 odd day
800 Years 0 Odd day
1200 Years 0 Odd day
1600 Years 0 Odd day
Every Leap Year Century 0 Odd day
Day of the Week Related to
Odd Days

No. of Days: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Days: Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat.


When we proceed forward by one year, then 1 day is gained and vice-versa.
Example,9th August 2013 was Friday, therefore 9th August 2014 has to be
Friday+1=Saturday.
Reverse is also true.

When we proceed forward by one leap year, then 2 days are gained and vice-versa.
Example If it was Wednesday on 10th august 2011 … then it has to be Friday
(Wednesday +2) on 10th august 2012 [because 2012 is a leap year]

Important point
If 26th January 2011 is Wednesday … then 26th January 2012 would be Thursday
(even if 2012 is leap year we have added +1 day, because 29th of February is not
crossed).
If 23rd March 2011 is Wednesday … then 23rd march 2012 would be Friday (+2
days. As 29th February of leap year is crossed).
Non leap year i.e ordinary year has First day of year = last day of year
Eg 1 jan 2019 = Tuesday then 31 Dec 2019 was also Tuesday

Leap year has last day = starting day + 1


Eg 1 Jan 2020 = Wednesday then 31 Dec 2020 will be Wednesday + 1 = Thursday

B. Tuesday
C. Friday
D. Sunday
Answer
15th Aug 1947 = 1946 years + Period from 1.1.1947 to
15.8.1947
Odd days in 1600 years =0
Odd days in next 300 years(1601-1900) = 5*3 = 15 = 1
46 years = 11 leap years + 35 ordinary years
= (11 * 2) + (35 * 1) = 57 =1
Odd days is 1946 years = 0 + 1 + 1 = 2
Jan + Feb + Mar + Apr + May + Jun + July + Aug =
31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 = 227 days
227 days = 32 weeks + 3 days = 3 odd days
Total odd days = 2 + 3 = 5
So, the day on 15th Aug 1947 was Friday.
