Calendar
A leap year comes after every 3 years.

Ordinary Year Leap Year

365 Days 366 Days

52 Weeks + 1 odd days 52 weeks + 2 odd days

Memory Tip
 Months of 30 days: S—A—J—N. (September, April, June, November).

 Months of 28/29 days: February.

 Remaining all months consist of 31 days.

Counting odd days


Those extra days which cannot make a complete week are called odd days.
To find the number of odd days, in days, weeks, month etc.., we divide that particular
number by 7 until we get a remainder which is less than 7.

Odd days in days:-


365 days = = 52 week and 1 odd day

Odd days in months:


January → 31 days = = 4 weak and 3 odd days.

Odd days in years (above 100 years)


100 years or one century contains 76 ordinary years and 24 leap year
[76 × 52 weeks + 76 odd days] + [24 × 52 weeks + 24 × 2 odd days]
= (76 + 24) × 52 weeks + (76 + 48) odd days
= 100 × 52 weeks + 124 odd days
= 100 × 52 weeks + (17 × 7 + 5) odd days
∴ 100 years contain 5 odd days.
Similarly, 200 years contain 3 odd days.
300 years contain 1 odd days
400 years contain 0 odd days
Any number of year which is a multiple of 400 contain 0 odd days i.e. 800, 1600,
2400 etc.

In 100 years = 5 0dd days

Q. How many odd days in 1000 years?

A. Explanation: In 1000 years = 1000 - 800 = 200 (we subtract the given year with the
nearest century year)
So, As in 100 year 5 odd days so in 200 years 5 × 2 = 10 odd days i.e. 1 weak and 3
odd days.

With reference date


In this section, a day on a particular date will be given and you will be asked to find
the day on a given date.

Q. If today is Monday, what day will be 128 days after today?

A. Explanation: 128 days is 126 days (18 weeks) + 2 odd days.


2 odd days after Monday is Wednesday.
Hence, Wednesday is the correct answer.

Q. If 25 December 1990 is a Tuesday, then what day is 25 December 2020?

A. Explanation: We calculate the number of odd days from 1990 to 2020, the number
of odd days is 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2
+ 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 38 or 3 odd days.

Q. Which year will have the same calendar as the year 2001?

A. To calculate the repeat year, the sum of the odd days must be 7 or 0.
2001 = 1
2002 = 1
2003 = 1
2004 = 2 (leap year)
2005 = 1
2006 = 1
2007 = 1
The sum of the odd days from 2002 to 2007 = 7,
So 2007, will have the same calendar as 2001.

A. To calculate the repeat year, we have to add 28 in case of leap year.
