Q.1 Which of the following year is not a leap year?
      a) 1960
      b) 2080
      c) 2024

      d) 2100

Answer:-2100

The two conditions that decide that a year is a leap year or not is:
• For a year to be a leap year, it should be divisible by 4.
• No century is a leap year unless it is divisible by 400.
Hence, the year 2100 is not a leap year as it is not divisible by 400.

Q.2 26th January, 1996 was a Friday. What day of the week lies on 26th January, 1997?

       a) Saturday
       b) Sunday
       c) Monday
       d) Thursday

Answer:- Sunday

The year 1996 was a leap year. Hence, it adds 2 odd days. As 26th January, 1996 was a Friday, 26th January, 1997 was a Sunday.

Q.3 The calendar for the year 2001 is same for which of the following year?
       a) 2005
       b) 2007
       c) 2011
       d) 2006

Answer:- 2007
The total number of odd days from 2001 onwards should be zero.
Now, as an ordinary year adds 1 odd day and a leap year adds 2 odd days, we have:
2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 – 1 odd day each
2004 – 2 odd days
Hence, at the end of 2006 total number of odd days = 7 or 0
Therefore, the calendar for the year 2001 is repeated in the year 2007.
