Another question to further explain the above statement

What will be day after 366 says(keeping today as monday)??
subtracting it from 392.
392-366=26.
26/7=3.5/7( where 3 is quotient.
5 is remainder.
7 is divisor.)
now moving back 5 days (because of remainder).
it will be thursday.
another way to calcultae thursday.
as 7*4=28
but the diff is 26
28-26=2
moving ahead(instead of backward) from monday,it will tuesday first then wednesday but the third day will be thusday so we add
2 days to manday and the result will be the third day.

I hope it works.

Its upto to your choice what you choose(backward or ahead).

Last two digits of year =20 (2020).

Divide it by 4 =5(quotient).

Take the date (the date that you are working this problem) =3 since am doing it on this date...
Month = 0 (0,3,3,6,1,4,6,2,5,0,3,5) October falls for number zero.

Year =6 (1600-1699=6), 1700-1799=4, 1800-1899=2, 1900-1999=0, 2000-2099=6.
Add all = that will give us 34.
Divide it by 7(days in a week).
Take reminder =34/7 remainder is 6.
Sun = 0
Mon = 1
Tue = 2
Wed = 3
Thu = 4
Fri = 5
Sat= 6.

So, the Answer here is Saturday.

I think it is Friday.

1999 + (1.1.2000 + 6.3.20000).
1600 = 0 odd days.
300 = 1 odd day.

99 years = 52 ordinary years + 27 leap years.
=52 * 1 + 27 * 2.
= 52 + 54.
= 106.
= 15 weeks + 1 odd day.

1999 = 1600 + 300 + 99.
= 0 + 1 + 1.
= 2 odd days.
->>>>>>>>>>>>>>-
1.1.2000 + 6.3.2000.
31(jan) + 29(feb) + 6(mar) = 66 days.
= 9 weeks + 3 days.
6th march 2000 = 0 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 5.

@All.

The easiest way to calculate this is;

Just calculate that how far the number which is givn from the multiple of 7.. like if i change the question like.

Eg:

Que. =#If today is Sunday then after 50 days it will be?
Ans. = ATQ, day of 50th day.

Seeing the multiple of 7. like 7, 14, 21...49.

Then on 49th day, we'll get Sunday but on next day i.e. 50th day it's MONDAY.

Eg: Today is 1st Monday, so after 7 days i.e. 8th is Monday so
From the given question: Today is Monday after 61 days it will
be Friday.

Sol: In 61
8*7=56 i.e. 57th is Monday
58 --- tue
59 --- wed
60 ---- thursday
61 ----- Friday

@All.

Here, is the solution.

Today is considered as Monday.
61th day=?
a week has 7 days..
there are 8 weeks, 7 days in 61.
8*7=56.

The 56th day must be the same Monday.
56+remaining days from 61.
(ie)56+(61-56).
=56+5.
56(mon) + 5(tue + wed + thur + fri and the fifth day is Saturday)
so, the answer is Saturday.

Kishan Kumar Swain said:   6 years ago
After 61 days means it should be counted as 62nd day.

So 61/7=56 (quotient). So 56th day is Sunday.

62-56=6 that is Saturday.

So and is Saturday.

Take a simple example, i.e,

Today is Monday after 2 days it will be which day?

The answer will be Thursday day, not Wednesday.

Devi Sailakshmi said:   5 years ago
Monday day code is 1.

Given days + Monday daycode=(1+61)=62.

To find odd days 62 is divided by 7.
62÷7=6 remainder.
Sunday day code-0.
Mon-1,
Tue-2,
Wed-3,
Thurs-4,
Fri-5,
Sat-6.

So, 62÷7 we get remainder 6 so, the day code of 6 is Sat. So the answer is SATURDAY.

Today is Monday Each day of the week is repeated after 7 days.

So fist day and 8th day is same.

So Today is Monday mean 56th day is Monday.

So answer is Saturday (process:- 8*7=56, 56th day is common ga Monday:, so 57th:-the, 58:-wen, 59:-thu, 60:-fri, 61:-sat).

Prabh virdi said:   5 years ago
Firstly calculate the leap years and ordinary days in 61 days.

(15 leap + 46 ordinary days)
[15*2+46*1] =76. "Because leap year having 2 odd days ".

In 76 days there are 10 weeks.
So left 6 are reminder odd days.
Answer is Saturday.
