Calendar shortcuts and important formulas for all competitive exam.
CALENDAR : calendar is used to find many problems related to odd days, leap year, and counting of odd days and many.
Condition for Calender :
1. Odd Days: We are supposed to find the day of the week on a given date. For this, we use the concept of 'odd days'. or
In a given period, the number of days more than the complete weeks are called odd days.
2. Leap Year: (a). Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year, if it is not a century. (b). Every 4th century is a leap year and no other century is a leap year.
Note: A leap year has 366 days.
Examples: (a) Each of the years 1948, 2004, 1676 etc. is a leap year. (b) Each of the years 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 etc. is a leap year. (c) None of the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 1800, 2100 is a leap year.
3.Ordinary Year:
The year which is not a leap year is called an ordinary years. An ordinary year has 365 days
Counting of Odd Days:
1. 1 ordinary year = 365 days = (52 weeks + 1 day.) 1 ordinary year has 1 odd day.
2. 1 leap year = 366 days = (52 weeks + 2 days) 1 leap year has 2 odd days.
3 . 100 years = 76 ordinary years + 24 leap years
= (76 x 1 + 24 x 2) odd days = 124 odd days.
= (17 weeks + days) = 5 odd days.
Number of odd days in 100 years = 5
Number of odd days in 200 years = (5 x 2) 3 odd days.
Number of odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) 1 odd day.
Number of odd days in 400 years = (5 x 4 + 1) 0 odd day.
Similarly, each one of 800 years, 1200 years, 1600 years, 2000 years etc. has 0 odd days
Calendar Important Examples and Formulas
Question-1: It was Sunday on Jan 1, 2006. What was the day of the week Jan 1, 2010? Solution: On 31st December, 2005 it was Saturday.
Number of odd days from the year 2006 to the year 2009 = (1 + 1 + 2 + 1) = 5 days.
On 31st December 2009, it was Thursday.
Thus, on 1st Jan, 2010 it is Friday.
Question-2: What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006? Solution : 28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) 6 odd days
Jan. Feb. March. April. May
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 28 ) = 148 days 148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) 1 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 0 odd day. Given day is Sunday.
Question-3 : On what dates of April, 2001 did Wednesday fall?
Solution : We shall find the day on 1st April, 2001.
1st April, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1) = 91 days 0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0
On 1st April, 2001 it was Sunday. In April, 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.
Question-4 : Today is Monday. After 61 days, it will be:
Solution : Each day of the week is repeated after 7 days.
So, after 63 days, it will be Monday. After 61 days, it will be Saturday

What was the day on 26 Jan 1948?
Correct
26 Jan, 1948 = (1947 years + Period from 1.1.1948 to 26.1.1948)
Counting of odd days:
Number of odd days in 1600 years = 0.
Number of odd days in 300 years = 15 = 1
(Because when 15 divided by 7, we get remainder 1)
47 years = 11 leap years + 36 ordinary years
= (11 × 2 + 36 × 1)odd days = 58 odd days
= (8 weeks + 2 days) = 2 odd days
∴ 1947 years have (0 + 1 + 2) = 3 odd days
Jan
26 = 26 days
26 days = (3 weeks + 5 days) = 5 odd days
∴ Total number of odd days = (5 + 3) = 8 = 1
Hence, the required day is Monday.

Jan
26 = 26 days
26 days = (3 weeks + 5 days) = 5 odd days
∴ Total number of odd days = (5 + 3) = 8 = 1
Hence, the required day is Monday.

What was the day on 6th Feb 1994?
Correct
6th Feb, 1994 = (1993 years + Period from 1.01.1993 to 6.02.1994)
Counting of odd days:
Number of odd days in 2000 years = 0 odd day
Number of odd days in 300 years = (5 × 3) = 15 = 1
(When 15 is divided by 7, it gives 1 as the remainder.)
93 years = (23 leap year + 70 ordinary year)
⇒ (23 × 2 + 70 × 1) ⇒ (46 + 70) = 116 days.
⇒ 116 days = (16 Weeks + 4 days) = 4 odd days.
∴ 1993 years have = (0 + 1 + 4) = 5 odd days.
Jan Feb
31 + 6 = 37 odd days
37 days = (5 weeks + 2 days) = 2 odd days
∴ Total numbers of odd days = (5 + 2) = 7.

The calendar for the year 2013 will be the same for the year:
Correct
The same calendar year will be the next year to the one in which we get the counting of odd days as 0 (In the multiple of 7).
Calculation of odd days:
1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7 = 0 odd day
Hence, the next same calendar year will be 2019.
