As- odd days in january 31st December of the century year immediately following
it will be Wednesday, then the 31st December of the century
Number = 31 7 Remainder = 3 (odd days) ÷ year immediately following it will be Monday, then the
century year after it will be a leap year. Hence 31st
December will be Sunday. Similarly, the 31st December of
the century year between other century leap years will be
a day. The following has been stated for the clarification

time taken by the earth in one complete revolution
Questions based on original calendar–
on its axis and when the earth completes one
complete revolution around the sun, then it takes 1
day.

1 One solar year = 365 days, 5 hours, 48 47
2
minutes and seconds which is approximately equal
to 365.2422 days. This can be modified to consider
'365' days as a year.
This was called a normal year.
Every year which is divisible by four is a leap year
and all others are ordinary years. An ordinary year
has 365 days and a leap year has 366 days i.e. an
ordinary year has a total of 52 weeks and 1 day and
a leap year has 52 weeks and 2 extra days.
The last day of a century cannot be Tuesday, Thursday or
Saturday but can be Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
The first day of a century can be Monday, Tuesday,
