Key Points:
I. The year which is exactly divisible by 4 is called leap year. Ex: 2004, 2008, 2012….
But in Centuries the year which is divisible by 400 is only called leap year. Ex: 1200, 1600, 2000,…
The Centuries like 1700, 1800, 2100, 2200 are not leap years, because they are not divisible by 400, even divisible by 4.
II. Odd Days of a Month: The remainder when the number of days of a month are divided by 7
Jan – 3, Feb – 0 (In non leap year), 1 (In leap year),
Mar – 3, Apr – 2, May – 3, st st
In every Ordinary Year Jan-1 and Dec-31 falls on same DAY.
Jun –2, Jul – 3, Aug – 3,
Sep – 2, Oct – 3, Nov – 2, Dec – 3.
III. Odd Days of a Year: The remainder when the number of days of a month are divided by 7
Ordinary Year: 52 weeks + 1 day: No of Odd days = 1
Leap Year: 52 weeks + 2 days: No of Odd days = 2 st
In any Leap year Dec-31 will be the next Day of Jan-1
st
IV. Odd Days of number of Years:
In 1yr = 1 Odd day In every year
st Odd Days of all the years which are
In 2yrs = 2 Odd days April 1 ,
st multiples of 400 are ZERO.
In 3yrs = 3 Odd days July 1 ,
In 4yrs = 5 Odd days will be same Ex: 400, 800, 1200, 1600… Odd Days = 0
In 100yrs = 5 Odd days day
In 200yrs = 3 Odd days No Century ends with Tue OR Thu OR Saturday
In 300yrs = 1 Odd day
In 400yrs = 0 Odd day
V. Odd Days – Days In every year March 1st and Nov 1st will be same day
0 – Sunday 1 – Monday 2 – Tuesday
3 – Wednesday 4 – Thursday 5 – Friday 6 – Saturday
VI. To find when a calendar can be used again:
Divide the year by 4 and find the remainder:
If the remainder is “0” the same calendar can be used again after 28 years
If the remainder is “1” the same calendar can be used again after 6 years
If the remainder is “2” the same calendar can be used again after 11 years
If the remainder is “3” the same calendar can be used again after 11 years
Eg - 1: What is the day of 26th January 1930? In every yearSept
st st
Soln: 1930-Jan-26 = 1600yrs + 300yrs + 29yrs + 26 days 1 and Dec 1
Odd Days → 0 + 1 + (7X2 + 22X1) +5 ( 7 Leap yrs + 22 Ordinary yrs) will be same day
→ 0 + 1 + 36days +5
→ 0 + 1 + 1 + 5 = 0→ Sunday
Eg - 2: What is the day of 21stApril 1977?
Soln:1977-April-21 = 1600yrs + 300yrs + 76yrs + Jan + Feb + March + 21 days
Odd Days → 0 + 1 + (19X2 + 57X1) + 3 + 0 + 3 + 0 (19 Leap yrs + 57 Ordinary yrs)
→ 0 + 1 + 95days + 3 + 0 + 3 + 0
→ 0 + 1 + 4 +3 + 0 + 3 + 0= 11 = 4→Thursday
th th
Eg - 3:If 2014 Nov 5 is Wednesday then 2015 Nov 5 falls on which day?
th th
Soln: 2014 Nov 5 to 2015 Nov 5 is an ordinary year. Odd days = 1, Wednesday + 1 = Thursday
Eg - 4:If today is Friday, which day will be after 478 days?
Soln: 478 days = 68weeks + 2 days = 2 Odd days
Friday + 2 = Sunday No Century starts with Tue OR Thu OR Sunday
Eg - 4:When 2005 Calendar can be used again?
Soln:When 2005 is divided by 4, the remainder is 1.
2005 Calendar can be used again for(2005 + 6) 2011.
