If birthday of Raj was celebrated on 5th January, Tuesday 1993 what would be the day when he celebrates his 21st birthday?
5th Jan 1993 is Tuesday
1993+21=2014
He will celebrate his 21st birthday on 5th Jan 2014.
Number of leap years: 5 (1996,2000,2004,2008,2012)
Number of non-leap years: 16
We add 2 days for a leap year and 1 day for non-leap years.
Therefore (2*5)+16 = 26

Therefore, if 29th November 2015 is Sunday,
then, 29th November 2016 will Tuesday. (As for a leap year, we add two days)
Therefore, the day on 27th November 2016 will be Sunday.
