What is the day of the week on 31st October 1984?
Answer:
Wednesday
Odd days up to 1983 = 1600(0) + 300(1) + 83(20 LY + 63 NY) = 1 + 40 + 63 = 104 = 6 odd days. 1984 is leap. Jan to Oct = 3(J) + 1(F) + 3(M) + 2(A) + 3(M) + 2(J) + 3(J) + 3(A) + 2(S) + 31(O=3) = 25 odd days = 4 odd days. Total = 6 + 4 = 10 = 3 odd days. Day 3 is Wednesday.

How many days are there from 26th January 2008 to 15th May 2008 (both days included)?

If an Independence Day (15th August) was celebrated on a Tuesday in a non-leap year, on what day will the next Republic Day (26th January) fall?
Answer:
Friday
From Aug 15 to Jan 26: Aug(16) + Sep(30) + Oct(31) + Nov(30) + Dec(31) + Jan(26) = 164 days. 164 mod 7 = 3 odd days. Tuesday + 3 days = Friday. Wait, let me recalculate. Aug(16) -> 2. Sep(30) -> 2. Oct(31) -> 3. Nov(30) -> 2. Dec(31) -> 3. Jan(26) -> 5. Total = 2+2+3+2+3+5 = 17. 17 mod 7 = 3. Tue + 3 = Friday. I'll correct the option.
