If 1st January 2016 was Friday, what day was 31st December 2016?
Answer:
Saturday
2016 is a leap year, containing 366 days. While an ordinary year starts and ends on the same day, a leap year ends exactly one day later than it started. Thus, if it begins on a Friday, it will end on a Saturday.
2302
A person was born on the 5th Monday of February in a particular year. Which year could it have been?
Answer:
2000
A month can only have a 5th occurrence of a specific day if it contains 29 or more days. February only has 29 days during a leap year. Among the given options, only 2000 is a leap year (since it is a century year evenly divisible by 400).
2303
If today is Saturday, what day will it be 350 days from now?
Answer:
Saturday
To determine the future day, divide the total days by 7 to find the odd days. 350 divided by 7 is exactly 50 with a remainder of 0. Since there are 0 odd days, the day of the week remains perfectly unchanged as Saturday.
2304
What day of the week was 1st January 1901?
Answer:
Tuesday
1600 years have 0 odd days. The 300 years from 1600 to 1900 contribute 1 odd day. The year 1900 ends with 1 odd day overall relative to the century cycle. Thus, up to 1900, there is 1 odd day. Jan 1, 1901 adds 1 day. Total = 2 odd days. Day 2 of the week is Tuesday.
2305
In a regular year, if March 1st is a Tuesday, what day is November 1st?
Answer:
Tuesday
The months of March and November share the exact same calendar because the cumulative sum of odd days between their starts is a multiple of 7. Thus, if March 1st is Tuesday, November 1st is invariably a Tuesday as well.
2306
If 20th January of a leap year is a Wednesday, what will be the day on 20th March of the same year?
Answer:
Sunday
Days remaining in January = 31 - 20 = 11. Since it's a leap year, February has 29 days. Days in March up to the 20th = 20. Total days = 11 + 29 + 20 = 60. Dividing 60 by 7 gives 8 weeks and 4 odd days. Wednesday + 4 days = Sunday. Wait, Jan 20 is Wed. Days to Mar 20 = Jan(11) + Feb(29) + Mar(20) = 60. 60 % 7 = 4. Wed + 4 = Sunday. Let me correct the option.
2307
If 15th August falls on Thursday in a given year, what day will be the 5th September of the same year?
Answer:
Thursday
August has 31 days. From Aug 15th to Aug 31st there are 16 days. Add 5 days of September for a total of 21 days. Dividing 21 by 7 gives a remainder of 0 odd days. Therefore, the day remains the exact same: Thursday.
2308
Which of the following years had 366 days?
Answer:
2000
A year with 366 days is a leap year. Century years must be strictly divisible by 400 to be leap years. Among the choices, only 2000 is perfectly divisible by 400.
2309
If 9th of the month falls on the day preceding Sunday, on what day will 1st of the month fall?
Answer:
Friday
The day preceding Sunday is Saturday. So, the 9th is a Saturday. Going back 7 days, the 2nd is also a Saturday. Therefore, the 1st of the month must be Friday.
2310
What is the maximum number of Sundays a year can have?
Answer:
53
An ordinary year consists of 52 weeks and 1 odd day, allowing a maximum of 53 Sundays if the year starts on a Sunday. A leap year has 52 weeks and 2 odd days, also allowing a maximum of 53 Sundays if it starts on either Saturday or Sunday.
