Answer »Answer: (b)
1977 is an ordinary year.
We know that the calendar of an ordinary year repeats after 6 yrs or 11 yrs.

1979 | 1 |
1980 | 2 |
1981 | 1 |
1982 | 1 |
1983 | 1 |
1984 | 2 |
1985 | 1 |
1986 | 1 |
1987 | 1 |
1988 | 2 |
From the above table, Number of odd days from 18.09.1977 to 18.09.1983 = 7,
i.e., 0 odd days
It means that in 1983, 18th September would fall on Sunday.
From the above table, a number of odd days from 18.09.1977 to 18.09.1988 = 14
i.e., 0 odd days.
Now, it is clear that 2 marriage anniversaries would fall on Sunday in the next 15 yr.

a) 5th Friday
b) 4th Saturday
c) 5th Wednesday
d) 5th Thursday
e) None of these
Answer »Answer: (a)
Number of days left in the month after 16th = 31 - 16 = 15
Number of odd days = 15/7 = 2 weeks + 1 odd day
Therefore, Required day = Thursday + 1 odd day = Friday
As, 16th of the month is third Thursday, the day which is two weeks after this day is fifth Thursday.
So, one day after 5th Thursday is 5th Friday.
