The calendar for the year 2018 will be identical to which of the following future years?
Answer:
2029
2018 is exactly two years after the leap year 2016. Calendars for years positioned as (Leap Year + 2) systematically repeat after 11 years. Therefore, 2018 + 11 = 2029.
2312
If the second day of a month is a Friday, which of the following would be the last day of the next month which has 31 days?
Answer:
Data inadequate
The problem gives the second day of a certain month as Friday, but does not specify the current month. Without knowing how many days are in the current month (28, 29, 30, or 31), it is mathematically impossible to determine the odd days bridging into the next month. Thus, the data is inadequate.
2313
If 1st October is a Sunday, then 1st November will be:
Answer:
Wednesday
October has 31 days. The number of odd days in a 31-day month is 31 mod 7 = 3. Therefore, the day of the week advances by 3 days for the same date in the next month. Sunday + 3 days = Wednesday.
2314
If today is Tuesday, what day will it be after 100 days?
Answer:
Thursday
Divide the number of days by 7 to find the odd days: 100 / 7 = 14 weeks with a remainder of 2. Adding these 2 odd days to Tuesday gives Thursday.
2315
How many days are there in x weeks and x days?
Answer:
8x
A week consists of 7 days. Therefore, x weeks contain 7x days. Adding the additional x days gives a total of 7x + x = 8x days.
2316
If 3rd December 1990 is Sunday, what day is 3rd January 1991?
Answer:
Wednesday
December has 31 days. From 3rd Dec to 31st Dec there are 28 days. Then 3 days in January. Total days = 31. Dividing 31 by 7 leaves a remainder of 3 odd days. Sunday + 3 days = Wednesday.
2317
If day before yesterday was Thursday, what day will fall 4 days after tomorrow?
Answer:
Thursday
If the day before yesterday was Thursday, today is Saturday. Tomorrow is Sunday. Four days after tomorrow (Sunday) is Sunday + 4 days, which brings us to Thursday. Wait, Thursday + 2 = Saturday (Today). Tomorrow is Sunday. 4 days after Sunday is Thursday. The options don't match my logic perfectly if 'after' means +4. Let's re-read. Today is Saturday. Tomorrow is Sunday. Day 1 after tomorrow = Mon, Day 2 = Tue, Day 3 = Wed, Day 4 = Thu. Option C is Friday. Let me adjust the question slightly. '3 days after tomorrow' = Wednesday. '4 days after tomorrow' = Thursday. I'll correct the option to Thursday.
2318
What will be the day of the week on 1st January 2050?
Answer:
Saturday
2000 years have 0 odd days. The next 49 years consist of 12 leap years and 37 ordinary years. Odd days = (12 × 2) + 37 = 24 + 37 = 61. 61 mod 7 = 5 odd days. Add 1 day for Jan 1, 1950. Total = 6 odd days. The 6th day of the week is Saturday.
2319
If 15th February 2012 was Wednesday, what was the day on 15th February 2013?
Answer:
Friday
The year 2012 was a leap year, so February had 29 days. The period from Feb 15, 2012, to Feb 15, 2013, includes this 29th day, encompassing 366 days. 366 days equal 52 weeks and 2 odd days. Wednesday + 2 days = Friday.
2320
A man was born on 29th February 1896. When did he celebrate his first proper birthday?
Answer:
1904
A person born on 29th February can only celebrate their exact birthday on leap years. 1900 was a century year not divisible by 400, so it was not a leap year and had no Feb 29th. The next leap year was 1904. Thus, his first proper birthday was 8 years later in 1904.
