HARD

Consider the following statements regarding the calculation of leap years in a century span:

In a span of 100 years, there are 24 leap years and 76 normal years.
To find the number of leap years in 100 years, one divides 100 by 4 to get 25, and then subtracts 1 because the 100th year is a century year that is not a leap year.
Century years like 700, 1300, and 1900 are leap years because they are divisible by 100.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

1 and 2 only

2 and 3 only

1 and 3 only

1, 2 and 3

Explanation

🌟 Quick Verification

Direct Answer: The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.
Core Concept: [Century Leap Year Calculation]: Calculating the frequency of leap years over a 100-year period.

🧠 Solution Blueprint

Statement 1 Verification: In 100 years, dividing 100 by 4 yields 25, but since the 100th year (100) is not divisible by 400, it is not a leap year, leaving 24 leap years and 76 normal years. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
Statement 2 Verification: The mathematical procedure for finding leap years in 100 years is precisely (100 / 4) - 1 = 24. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
Statement 3 Verification: Years like 700, 1300, and 1900 are divisible by 100, but not divisible by 400, so they are not leap years. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.

HARD

Consider the following statements regarding temporal day offsets:

The difference in days between 'yesterday' and 'the day after tomorrow' is 3 days.
If tomorrow is Sunday, then the day before yesterday was Thursday.
Adding 4 days to 'the day before yesterday' directly yields 'the day after tomorrow'.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

1 and 2 only

2 and 3 only

1 and 3 only

1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because yesterday is -1 day from today and the day after tomorrow is +2 days, making the difference 2 - (-1) = 3 days.
Statement 2 is correct because if tomorrow is Sunday, today is Saturday, yesterday is Friday, and the day before yesterday was Thursday.
Statement 3 is correct because the day before yesterday is -2 days and the day after tomorrow is +2 days; adding 4 days to -2 gives +2.
Thus, all statements are correct.

HARD

Consider the following statements regarding the calendar patterns of months in standard years:

The total days between April and July equal 91, which is a multiple of 7.
If two months have a day-count sum between them that is not divisible by 7, their calendar dates will fall on different weekdays.
Every month in a year has at least one other month in the same year that shares an identical calendar structure.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

1 and 2 only

2 and 3 only

1 and 3 only

1, 2, and 3

Explanation

🌟 Quick Verification

Direct Answer: The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.
Core Concept: Analysis of calendar congruence rules.

🧠 Solution Blueprint

Statement 1: April through June total 91 days, which is $13 \times 7$ .
Statement 2: Non-divisibility by 7 means weekdays do not match.
Statement 3: False, because certain months do not have any other month matching them in the exact same calendar year.

Explanation

🌟 Quick Verification

Direct Answer: The correct answer is 3.
Core Concept: Modulo arithmetic for calendar calculations.

🧠 Solution Blueprint

Calculation: Divide 122 by 7.
Step: $122 / 7 = 17$ with a remainder.
Check: $17 \times 7 = 119$ .
Remainder: $122 - 119 = ext{3}$ .

HARD

Assertion (A): To find a day in the past from a known future date, the total number of odd days between the two dates is calculated and subtracted from the known day.
Reason (R): Odd days are the remaining days left after dividing the total number of days by 7, which helps determine cyclical shifts in days of the week.

Select the correct option:

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Mrs. Susheela celebrated her wedding anniversary on Tuesday, 30th September 1997. When will she celebrate her next wedding anniversary on the same day?

30 September 2003

30 September 2004

30 September 2002

30 October 2003

Explanation

Sum of odd days must be 7 to have the same day. 1997(1)+1998(1)+1999(1)+2000(2)+2001(1)+2002(1) = 7 odd days. 1997+6=2003.

Which of the following century years will contain 0 odd days, adhering to the repeating calendar cycle?

500 years

1200 years

1500 years

1900 years

Explanation

🌟 Quick Verification

Direct Answer: The correct answer is 1200 years.
Core Concept: Periodic repetition of zero odd days in multiple centuries.

🧠 Solution Blueprint

Concept Analysis:
- Every multiple of 400 years (such as 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000) accumulates 0 odd days because each block of 400 years results in a total divisible by 7.

MEDIUM

Consider the following statements regarding extra days (atirikt din) in calendar years:

A normal year has 1 extra day, whereas a leap year has 2 extra days.
The extra day in a leap year is specifically accommodated in the month of February.
The total number of leap years in a 100-year duration is exactly 25 without any deductions.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

1 and 2 only

2 and 3 only

1 and 3 only

1, 2 and 3

Explanation

🌟 Quick Verification

Direct Answer: The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.
Core Concept: [Extra Days and Century Deduction]: Properties of extra days and the 100-year leap year count.

🧠 Solution Blueprint

Statement 1 Verification: Normal years have 1 extra day (365 mod 7 = 1) and leap years have 2 extra days (366 mod 7 = 2). Hence, statement 1 is correct.
Statement 2 Verification: The extra leap day is added to February (making it 29 days instead of 28). Hence, statement 2 is correct.
Statement 3 Verification: In 100 years, dividing 100 by 4 gives 25, but 1 must be subtracted because the 100th year is not a leap year, giving 24 leap years, not 25. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.

MEDIUM
