- 36. 1.12.91 is the first Sunday. Which is the fourth Tuesday of December 91?
A.20.12.91
B.25.12.91
C.24.12.91
D.22.12.91
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option C 
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

- 37. What is the year next to 1990 which will have the same calendar as that of the year 1990?
A.1992
B.2001
C.1995
D.1996
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option B
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 days
Take 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 days
Take 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

- 38. What day of the week will 22 Apr 2222 be?
A.Monday
B.Tuesday
C.Sunday
D.Thursday
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option A
22 Apr 2222 = (2221 years + period from 1-Jan-2222 to 22-Apr-2222)
We know that number of odd days in 400 years = 0
Hence the number of odd days in 2000 years = 0 (Since 2000 is a perfect multiple of 400)
Number of odd days in the period 2001-2200
= Number of odd days in 200 years
= 5 x 2 = 10 = 3
(As we can reduce perfect multiples of 7 from odd days without affecting anything)
Number of odd days in the period 2201-2221
= 16 normal years + 5 leap years
= 16 x 1 + 5 x 2 = 16 + 10 = 26 = 5 odd days
Number of days from 1-Jan-2222 to 22 Apr 2222
= 31 (Jan) + 28 (Feb) + 31 (Mar) + 22(Apr) = 112
112 days = 0 odd day
Total number of odd days = (0 + 3 + 5 + 0) = 8 = 1 odd day
1 odd days = Monday
Hence 22 Apr 2222 is Monday.
