Pavithra very wrong method. How can you calculate 16th july 1776 ?

1 ordinary year = 365days = 52weeks + 1day
so, each ordinary year has 1 odd day.
1 leap year = 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 days (since 52 weeks=364days so, in leap year , to get 366 days we add 2 in 364)
so, each leap year has 2 odd days
100 years = 76 ordinary years + 24 leap years
= 76 multiply with its odd day i.e 1 + 24 multiply with its odd days i.e 2
= 76 + 48
=124 odd days
This means that every 100 years contain 124 odd days.
so, each ordinary year has 1 odd day.

Hi pavithra, tell me if they asked for the year with below 1900. Because the value will be gone to minus so what to do?
Sidhu said:

Pavithra. Thanks for your approach. Can u please say me why 1900 is used there (possibly some concept behind)?

Vijaya please don't confuse students with your typical explanation. Sunder's explanation is pretty simple when compared to yours. Don't make students to give up their effort in learning something by giving these type of difficult explanations.
