Calendar Questions

Given year is divided by 4, and the quotient gives the number of leap years.

Here, 100%4 = 25.

But, as 100 is not a leap year => 25 - 1= 24 leap years.

The year 2004 is a leap year. It has 2 odd days.

The day on 8th Feb, 2004 is 2 days before the day on 8th Feb, 2005.

Hence, this day is Sunday

The year 2007 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.

1st day of the year 2007 was Monday

1st day of the year 2008 will be 1 day beyond Monday

Hence, It will be Tuesday.

This can be illustrated with an example.

Ex: 1896 is a leap year.The next leap year comes in 1904 (1900 is not a leap year).

NOTE :

Repetition of leap year ===> Add +28 to the Given Year.

Repetition of non leap year

Step 1 : Add +11 to the Given Year. If Result is a leap year, Go to step 2.

Step 2:  Add +6 to the Given Year.

Solution : 

Given Year is 1897, Which is a non leap year.

Step 1 : Add +11 to the given year (i.e 1897 + 11) = 1908, Which is a leap year. 

Step 2 : Add +6 to the given year (i.e 1897 + 6) = 1903

Therfore, The calendar of the year 1897 can be used again in the year 1903

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.
