If a month has its 11th day on a Saturday, which day will the 27th be?
Answer:
Monday
The difference in days is 27 - 11 = 16 days. Dividing 16 by 7 gives a remainder of 2 odd days. Saturday + 2 days leads directly to Monday.
2242
If 10th January 2004 is a Tuesday, what will be the day on 10th January 2005?
Answer:
Thursday
The interval from Jan 10, 2004, to Jan 10, 2005, incorporates the leap day of February 29, 2004. Therefore, the interval covers 366 days, equating to exactly 2 odd days. Tuesday + 2 days = Thursday.
2243
What is the day of the week on 5th June 2002?
Answer:
Wednesday
2001 years = 2000(0) + 1(1). Jan to June 5: 3+0+3+2+3+5 = 16 = 2 odd days. Total = 1 + 2 = 3 odd days. Day 3 is Wednesday.
2244
A non-leap year has how many exact weeks?
Answer:
52
A non-leap year consists of 365 days. Dividing 365 by 7 yields precisely 52 complete weeks with 1 odd day remaining.
2245
The day of the week on 28th February 2004 was:
Answer:
Saturday
2003 years = 2000(0) + 3(0 LY + 3 NY = 3 odd). 2004 Jan(3) + Feb 28(0) = 3 odd days. Total = 3+3 = 6 odd days. Day 6 is Saturday.
2246
If 4th November 2024 is a Saturday, what will be the day on 4th November 2025?
Answer:
Sunday
Wait, 2024 is a leap year, but February 29th has already passed by November. Moving from Nov 2024 to Nov 2025 crosses February 2025, which has 28 days (ordinary year). This is 365 days, yielding 1 odd day. Wait, my option logic was Monday? Saturday + 1 = Sunday. Let me correct the options to have Sunday as correct.
2247
If every 4th year is a leap year, why is 1900 not a leap year?
Answer:
It is a century year not divisible by 400
To compensate for the solar year being slightly less than 365.25 days, the Gregorian calendar skips leap years on century years (ending in 00) unless they are perfectly divisible by 400.
2248
Find the day of the week on 31st December 1999.
Answer:
Friday
1999 years = 1600(0) + 300(1) + 99(24 LY + 75 NY = 48+75=123 = 4 odd days). Total = 1+4 = 5. Day 5 is Friday. Another way: Jan 1 2000 is Saturday. So Dec 31 1999 is Friday.
2249
If 1st March is a Saturday, what day will be the 1st of April in the same year?
Answer:
Tuesday
March always has 31 days. The number of odd days is 31 mod 7 = 3. Therefore, moving from March 1st to April 1st shifts the weekday forward by 3 days. Saturday + 3 days = Tuesday.
2250
What is the number of odd days in the month of February in a leap year?
Answer:
1
During a leap year, February contains 29 days. To find the odd days, divide 29 by 7, which gives 4 full weeks and exactly 1 remainder day. This 1 remainder is the odd day.
