Answer: Option B

16 th july, 1776 means = 1775 years + period from 1st january to 16 july
Now, 1600 years have 0 odd days.
100 years have 5 odd days.
75 years = 18 leap years + 57 ordinary years
= (36 + 57) odd days = 93 odd days
= 13 weeks + 2 odd days = 2 odd days
Therefore, 1775 years have (0 + 5 + 2) odd days = 0 odd days.
Now, days from 1st Jan to 16 th july; 1776
Jan Feb March April May June July
31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 16 = 198 days
= (28 weeks + 2 days) odd days
Therefore, total number of odd days = 2
So, the day of the week was Tuesday

Answer: Option D

Number of odd days in (1600 + 300) years = (0 + 1) = 1 odd day.
78 years = (19 leap years + 59 ordinary years) = (38 + 59) odd days = 6 odd days
12 days of January have 5 odd days.
Therefore, total number of odd days= (1 + 6 + 5) = 5 odd days.
Therefore, the desired day was Friday.

Answer: Option D

1998 is divided into 3 parts like 1600,300 and 98. for 1600 the odd day is 0
and for 300 the odd day is 1.
For 98 years will have total 24 leap years and 74 normal years. 24*2+74*1=122/7=3odd days.
So, date is jan 1st for dis odd day is 0.
Total odd days = (0+1+3+0) = 4
As 0 odd days is Sun, 1 odd day is Mon, 2=Tue, 3=Wed,4=Thu,5=Fri, 6=Sat.

Answer: Option B

1992 and 1996 both are leap years. so 1992 is same as 1996

Answer: Option D

1992 is a leap year because it is divisible of 4
A leap year consists of 366 days i.e, 52 weeks + 2 odd days
from 1st jan to 24th oct we have 297 days
and 366 -297 = 69 days
69 days i.e, 9 weeks + 6 odd days
i.e 6 odd days means SATURDAY
As 0 odd days is sun, 1 odd day is mon, 2=tue, 3=wed,4=th,5=fri, 6 odd days is sat.
