C) 2029 D) 2022
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2029

How to find the years which have the same Calendars : 

 Leap year calendar repeats every 28 years. 

Here 28 is distributed as 6 + 11 + 11.

  

Rules:

a) If given year is at 1st position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 6.

 b) If given year is at 2nd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11.

 c) If given year is at 3rd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11

 

Now, the given year is 2018

We know that 2016 is a Leap year.

2016  2017  2018  2019  2020

 LY    1st     2nd    3rd    LY

Here 2018 is at 2 nd position after the Leap year.

According to rule ( b) the calendar of 2018 is repeated for the year is 2018 + 11 = 2029.

Q:

What was the day of the week on 16th August, 1947?

A) Sunday B) Monday
C) Saturday D) Thursday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Saturday

Explanation:

15th August, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1st Jan., 1947 to 15th )

 

Counting of odd days:

 1600 years have 0 odd day. 300 years have 1 odd day.

 

 47 years = (11 leap years + 36 ordinary years)= [(11 x 2) + (36 x 1) ]odd days = 58 odd days = 2 odd days.

 

Jan  Feb  Mar  Apr  May  Jun  Jul  Aug.

31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 = 227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) = 3,

 

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 3) odd days = 6 odd days.

 

Hence, the required day was 'Saturday'.
