Question : 1
If the national day of a country was celebrated on the 4th Saturday of a month, then find the date of celebration, when the first day of that month is Tuesday.
a) 24th
b) 25th
c) 26th
d) 27th
Answer »Answer: (c)
According to the question,
National day = 4th Saturday
Since, 1st day = Tuesday
∴ 1st Saturday = Tuesday + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5th day
∴ 2nd Saturday = 5 + 7 = 12th day
3rd Saturday = 12 + 7 = 19th day
4th Saturday = 19 + 7 = 26th day
So, National day was celebrated on 26th of that month.
Question : 2
If Republic day was celebrated in 1996 on Friday, on which day in 2000 Independence day was celebrated?
a) Monday
b) Tuesday
c) Wednesday
d) Saturday
Answer »Answer: (b)
Number of days in 1996 (366-26) = 340
Number of days in 1997 = 365
Number of days in 1998 = 365
Number of days in 1999 = 365
Number of days from January 2000 to July 2000 = 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31
= 213
Number of days from 1st to 15th August, 2000 = 15
∴ Total days = 340 + 365 + 365 + 365 + 213 + 15 = 1663
∴ 1663 ÷ 7 = remainder 4
∴ 1663 days = (237 X 7 + 4) days = 237 weeks + 4 days
∴ Number of odd days = 4
∴ Day on 15th August, 2000 = Friday + 4 Odd days = Tuesday

Question : 5
If 26 January 2011 was Wednesday, then what day of the week was it on 26th January 2012?
a) Monday
b) Wednesday
c) Tuesday
d) Thursday
Answer »Answer: (d)
26th January 2011 to 26th January 2012 will be considered as an ordinary year because 26th January in 2012 (a leap year) comes before 29th February.
Hence, the period of this one year will have only 1 odd day.
Since 26th January 2011 = Wednesday
∴ 26th January 2012 = Wednesday + 1 odd day
= Thursday
