If the 15th of August is a Wednesday, what day of the week will the 1st of August be?
Answer:
Wednesday
The difference between the 15th and the 1st is 14 days. Since 14 is a perfect multiple of 7, there are 0 odd days. Moving backwards 14 days leaves the weekday unchanged. Thus, it remains Wednesday.
2222
Which of the following months does NOT have 30 days?
Answer:
July
Following the standard Gregorian calendar lengths, April, June, September, and November all have exactly 30 days. July, however, has 31 days.
2223
If 10th March 2003 is a Friday, what day of the week is 10th March 2004?
Answer:
Sunday
2004 is a leap year, and moving from March 2003 to March 2004 crosses February 29th, 2004. This creates a 366-day interval, which generates exactly 2 odd days. Friday + 2 days = Sunday.
2224
How many days are there from 1st April 2021 to 15th June 2021 (inclusive of both)?
Answer:
76
April has 30 days. May has 31 days. June has 15 days up to the given date. Total days = 30 + 31 + 15 = 76 days.
2225
The total number of odd days in the months of July and August combined is:
Answer:
6
Both July and August have 31 days. The number of odd days in a 31-day month is 3. Combining both months, the total number of odd days is 3 + 3 = 6.
2226
If 1st January 1900 was a Monday, what day was 31st December 1900?
Answer:
Monday
1900 is an ordinary year because, being a century year, it is not perfectly divisible by 400. In any ordinary year, the first day and the last day of the year fall on the exact same weekday. Thus, it was Monday.
2227
What day of the week was 9th November 1989?
Answer:
Thursday
1988 years = 1600(0) + 300(1) + 88(22 LY + 66 NY = 44+66=110 = 5 odd). Total = 6 odd days. 1989 is NY. Jan to Nov 9 = 3+0+3+2+3+2+3+3+2+3+9 = 33 = 5 odd days. Total = 6+5 = 11 = 4 odd days. Day 4 is Thursday.
2228
Which among the following years will have the same calendar as 2020?
Answer:
2048
2020 is a leap year. The calendar for any leap year repeats identically after an exact 28-year interval. Therefore, 2020 + 28 = 2048.
2229
What day of the week was 28th May 2006?
Answer:
Sunday
2005 years = 2000(0) + 5(1 LY + 4 NY = 2+4=6 odd days). 2006 is NY. Jan to May 28 = 3+0+3+2+28 = 36 = 1 odd day. Total = 6+1 = 7 = 0 odd days. Day 0 is Sunday.
2230
If today is Sunday, what was the day of the week 45 days ago?
Answer:
Thursday
To go backward in time, we subtract the odd days. 45 / 7 = 6 weeks with a remainder of 3 odd days. Subtracting 3 days from Sunday brings us directly to Thursday. Wait, Sunday - 1 = Sat, -2 = Fri, -3 = Thu. Let me correct the options to make Thursday correct.
