Answer: (c)

Count the number of odd days from the year 2007 onwards from the year 2007 onwards to get the sum equal to 0 odd day.

Answer: (d)

The century divisible by 400 is a leap year.

∴ The year 700 is not a leap year.

Answer: (a)

In a year, number of weeks = 52 extra day = 1

From 2002 to 2008, there are 6 years.

So number of extra days = 6 (1) = 6

While 2004 and 2008 are leap years, having one more extra day apart from the normal extra day.

Thus, number of extra days = 6 + 1 + 1 = 8

Out of these 8 extra days, 7 days form a week and so 1 day remains.

Hence, March 1, 2002 is 1 day less then March 1, 2008 i.e., it is Friday.

Answer: (b)

100 years contain 5 odd days.

∴ Last day of 1st century is Friday

200 years contain (5 × 2) ≡ 3 odd days.

∴ Last day of 2nd century is Wednesday.

300 years contain (5 × 3) = 15 ≡ 1 odd day.

∴ Last day of 3rd century is Monday.

400 years contain 0 odd day.

∴ Last day of 4th century is Sunday.

This cycle is repeated.

∴ Last day of a century cannot be Tuesday or Thursday or Saturday.
