21. What was the day of the week on 10th March 1996?

Answer: Option D

10+4+96+24+0/7=134/7=1=Sunday
22. What day of the week was 20th June 1837?

Answer: Option B
Solution:

20th June, 1837 means 1836 complete years + first 5 months of the year 1837 + 20 days of June
1600 years give no odd days
200 years give 3 odd days
36 years give (36 + 9 ) or 3 odd days
Thus 1836 years give 6 odd days
From 1st January to 20th June there are 3 odd days
Odd days: January 3, February 0, March 3, April 2, May 3, June 6 = 17
Thus the total number of odd days = 6 + 3 or 2 odd days
This means that the 20th of June fell on 2nd day commencing from Monday.
The required day was Tuesday.

23. How many days will there be from 26th January, 1996 to 15th May, 1996 (both days included)?

Number of days from 26-Jan-1996 to 15-May-1996 (both days included)

24. Today is Thursday. What will be the day of the week after 94 days?

25. What was the day on 25th January, 1975?

Answer: Option B
Solution:

Counting the years 1600 + 300 + 74
In 1600 years, there are zero odd days
In 300 years, there is one odd day
In 74 years, there are 18 leap years and 56 normal years, so the odd days are:
18(2) + 56(1) = 36 + 56 = 92,
Which is 13 weeks and 1 odd day
In 25 days of January, 1975, there are 3 weeks and 4 odd days
Total odd days = 0 + 1 + 1 + 4
six odd days, so it was a Saturday.

26. Arun went for a movie nine days ago. He goes to watch movies only on Thursdays. What day of the week is today?

Answer: Option D
Solution:

Clearly it can be understood from the question that 9 days ago was a Thursday
Number of odd days in 9 days = 2 (As 9 – 7 = 2, reduced perfect multiple of 7 from total days)
Hence today = (Thursday + 2 odd days) = Saturday

30. If 1st October is Sunday, then 1st November will be

Answer: Option C
Solution:

Given that 1st October is Sunday
