# The Calendar

## CONCEPT

We are to find the day of the week on a mentioned date. Certain concepts are defined as under.

### ODD DAYS

The no. of days exceeding the complete no. of weeks in a duration is the no. of odd days during that duration.

### ORDINARY YEAR

An ordinary year has 365 days.

### LEAP YEAR

A leap year has 366 days. Every year which is divisible by 4 is called a leap year. For example 1200, 1600, 1992, 2004, etc. are all leap years.

 The First year of every century year ending in 00's but not a multiple of 400 is not considered a leap year. For example 900,1000, 1100, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100 are not leap years.

### COUNTING OF ODD DAYS

(i) Every Ordinary year has 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day ∴ (ordinary year has 1 odd day).

(ii) Every leap year 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 days ∴ (leap year has 2 odd days).

(iii) 100 years = 76 ordinary years + 24 leap years ( The year 100 is not a leap year)

= 76 odd days + 2 × 24 odd days = 124 odd days.

124/7 = 5 (Remainder) = 05 odd days

Similarly, 200 years = 10 odd days = 03 odd days

300 years = 15/7 = 01 odd day

400 years = 20 + (1)/7 = 0 odd day {1 is added as 400 is a leap year}

Similarly, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000, 2400 years contain 0 odd days

### COUNTING OF DAYS

After counting the odd days, we find the day according to the no. of odd days → Sunday for 0 odd day, Monday for 01 odd day and so on.

 In an Ordinary Year, First & last day of the year are the same. (i) If 1 Jan is Friday than 31 Dec. will also have Friday. (ii) For a leap year, if first day is Monday then last day will be Tuesday for the same year. (iii) Calendar year 1 Jan to 31 Dec. Financial year 1 April to 31 March. (iv) The day on which calendar Started i.e., 1 Jan, 001 was Monday. (v) In a Leap year, February is of 29 days. In an ordinary year, February has 28 days
