Therefore, Day on 02 January 2019 = Wednesday

11:60 Days between the given dates = 29 + 28 + 31
-06:30 + 30 + 31 = 149

05:30 Odd days = 149/7 = 2 remainder

This gives us the time in the mirror image of 31 May 2019 Day = Wednesday + 2 = Friday

Number of leap years =12
15. (a) Number of non-leap years = 36
Difficulty: Medium Number of odd days for leap years =12 × 2
=24 days
Solution:
Number of odd days for non-leap years =36 ×
Total number of hours from Sunday 10 pm to

Thursday ⇒ 01 January 2001

Friday ⇒ 02 January 2001 23. (d)
Saturday ⇒ 03 January 2001 Solution: As we know that,
Sunday ⇒ 04 January 2001 Generally, Leap year happens every four
years, and a leap year is completely divisible
Hence, option (b) is correct.
by 4.
1982/4 = 495.5 (Not a leap year)
20. (b) 1958/4 = 489.6 (Not a leap year)
Solution: 1966/4 = 491.5 (Not a leap year)
Given that, 1972/4 = 493 (Is a leap year)
The last Monday was December 27, 1975. Hence, option (d) is correct.
Tuesday → December 28, 1975
Wednesday → December 29, 1975 24. (a)
Thursday → December 30, 1975 Solution: The logic followed here is:
Hence, option (b) is correct. ❖ Normal year contains 365 days.
❖ Leap year contains 366 days.
So, in 365 days we have 1 odd day and in 366
21. (c)
days we have 2 odd days.
Solution:
=> 1994, 1995, 1997 and 1998 are normal
The logic followed here is: years.
❖ If one day before the previous day was => 1996 is a leap year.
Monday it means today is Wednesday. => 11th October 1994 - Tuesday
If today is Wednesday then, Wednesday + 4 = => 11th October 1995 (Normal year) -
Sunday Tuesday + 1 = Wednesday.
Hence, option (c) is correct. => 11th October 1996 (Leap year) -
Wednesday + 2 = Friday.
=> 11th October 1997 (Normal year) - Friday
22. (b)
+ 1 = Saturday.
Solution: => 11th October 1998 (Normal year) -
The logic followed here is: Saturday + 1 = Sunday
❖ Number of days in August = 31 Therefore, Sunday falls on 11th October
1998.
❖ Number of days in September = 30
Hence, option (a) is correct.
❖ Number of days in October = 31
❖ Number of days in November = 17
25. (b)
Total number of days= 31 + 30 + 31 + 17 =
Solution:
109
Given that:
Hence, option (b) is correct.
Today is Saturday.
 7

As we know, after every seven days, we get

the same day.
Number of total days = 255.
28. (c)
To get the number of odd days:
Solution:
= 255/7 = 36 complete weeks,
Odd days ⇒
Remainder = 3 = Odd days.
In Normal year = 1,
So,
In Leap year = 2
Saturday + 3 Odd days = Tuesday.
12 January 2010 = Tuesday
Hence, option (b) is correct.
12 January 2011 = Tuesday + 1 = Wednesday
12 January 2012 = Wednesday + 1 = Thursday
26. (b)
12 January 2013 = Thursday + 2 = Saturday
Solution: (Because 2012 is a leap year)
Odd days ⇒ 12 January 2014 = Saturday + 1 = Sunday
In Normal year = 1, 12 January 2015 = Sunday + 1 = Monday
In Leap year = 2 12 January 2016 = Monday + 1 = Tuesday
If 1 March 2017 = Wednesday Days between 12 January to 8 April = 19 + 29
1 March 2018 = Wednesday + 1 Odd Day = + 31 + 8 = 87
Thursday Odd days = 87/7 = 3 remainder
1 March 2019 = Thursday + 1 Odd Day = 8 April 2016 = Tuesday + 3 Odd Day =
Friday Friday
7 march 2019 = Friday + 6 Odd day = Hence, option (c) is correct.
Thursday
Hence, option (b) is correct.
29. (b)
Solution:
27. (b)
Odd days ⇒
Solution:
In Normal year = 1,
Odd days ⇒
In Leap year = 2
In Normal year = 1,
If 6 March 2021 = Saturday
In Leap year = 2
6 March 2022 = Sunday
If 1 January 2008 = Tuesday
Days between 6 March 2022 to 8 April 2022 =
1 January 2009 = Tuesday + 2 = Thursday 25 + 8 = 33
(2008 is a leap year)
Odd days = 33/7 = 5 remainder
1 January 2010 = Thursday + 1 = Friday
8 April 2022 = Sunday + 5 = Friday
7 January 2010 = Friday + 6 = Thursday
Hence, option (b) is correct.
Hence, option (b) is correct.
 8

30. (b) If 6 January 2015 = Tuesday

Solution: 6 January 2016 = Tuesday + 1 = Wednesday
Odd days ⇒ 7 January 2016 = Thursday
In Normal year = 1, 8 January 2016 = Friday
In Leap year = 2 Hence, option (b) is correct.
