Answer: Option B
Solution:

Given that January 1, 2007 was Monday.
Odd days in 2007 = 1 (we have taken the complete year 2007 because we need to find out the odd days from 01-Jan-2007 to 31-Dec-2007, that is the whole year 2007)
Hence January 1, 2008 = (Monday + 1 Odd day) = Tuesday

44.  1.12.91 is the first Sunday. Which is the fourth Tuesday of December 91?

Answer: Option C
Solution:

Given that 1.12.91 is the first Sunday
Hence we can assume that 3.12.91 is the first Tuesday
If we add 7 days to 3.12.91, we will get second Tuesday
If we add 14 days to 3.12.91, we will get third Tuesday
If we add 21 days to 3.12.91, we will get fourth Tuesday
⇒ Fourth Tuesday = (3.12.91 + 21 days) = 24.12.91

47. How many odd days are there from 13th May, 2005 to 19th August 2005 (both inclusive)?

Answer: Option A
Solution:

Here we have to count the number days from 13th May, 2005 to 18rd August 2005 ( both inclusive)
From 13th to 31st May = 19 days
In June = 30 days
In July = 31 days
From 1st to 19th April = 19 days
Total number of days = 19 + 30 + 31 + 19 = 99 days
The number of odd days are = 14 x 7 + 1 = 99
So there is 1 odd day in the given period

48. What is the year next to 1990 which will have the same calendar as that of the year 1990?

Answer: Option B
Solution:

For a year to have the same calendar with 1990 ,total odd days from 1990 should be 0. Take the year 1992 from the given choices.
Total odd days in the period 1990-1991 = 2 normal years
⇒ 2 x 1 = 2 odd daysTake the year 1995 from the given choices.
Number of odd days in the period 1990-1994 = 4 normal years + 1 leap year
⇒ 4 x 1 + 1 x 2 = 6 odd daysTake the year 1996 from the given choices.
Number of odd days in the period 1990-1995 = 5 normal years + 1 leap year
⇒ 5 x 1 + 1 x 2 = 7 odd days = 0 odd days
(As we can reduce multiples of 7 from odd days which will not change anything) Though number of odd days in the period 1990-1995 is 0, there is a catch here.
1990 is not a leap year whereas 1996 is a leap year.
Hence calendar for 1990 and 1996 will never be the same.Take the year 2001 from the given choices. Number of odd days in the period 1990-2000 = 8 normal years + 3 leap years
⇒ 8 x 1 + 3 x 2 = 14 odd days = 0 odd days
Also, both 1990 and 2001 are normal years.
Hence 1990 will have the same calendar as that of 2001

49.  Find the number of odd days in 126 years.

Answer: Option B
Solution:

A period of 100 years has 5 odd days . In 26 years , 4 are leap, remaining are ordinary years
125 years = 100 years + 26 years
= 100 years + 6 leap years + 20 ordinary years
= 5 odd days + 12 odd days + 20 odd days
= 37 odd days = 5 x 7 +2 = 2 odd days
