1. The first Republic Day of India was celebrated on 26th January, 1950. It was
(A) Tuesday             (B) Wednesday             (C) Thursday           (D) Friday
Answer: (C)
Explanation: 26TH Jan., 1950 = (1949 years + Period from 1st Jan 1950 to 26th Jan., 1950)
1600 years have 0 odd day. 300 years have 1 odd day.
49 year = (12 leap years + 37 ordinary years)
= [(12 × 2) + (37 × 1)] odd days = 61 odd days
= 5 odd days
Number of days from 1st Jan to 26th Jan = 26 = 5 odd days
Total number of odd days = (0+1+5+5) = 11 = 4 odd days
The required days was “Thursday”

2. If 09/12/2001 happens to be Sunday, then 09/12/1971 would have been at
(A) Wednesday                 (B) Tuesday                    (C) Saturday              (D) Thursday
Answer: (A)
Explanation: 09/12/2001 ------ Sunday
No. of days between 9/12/71 & 9/12/2001
We know that every year has 1 odd days ; leap year has 2 odd days
Here, No. of normal days = 22 and No. of Leap year = 8
So odd days = 22+16 = 38 , i.e., 3 odd days
Hence it was a Wednesday
