Clearly it can be understood from the question that 9 days ago was a Thursday

Number of odd days in 9 days = 2 (As 9-7 = 2, reduced perfect multiple of 7 from total days)

Hence today = (Thursday + 2 odd days) = Saturday

a

Saturday

b

Sunday

c

Thursday

d

Wednesday

correct answer b

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

A day repeats itself in 7 days. Therefore, we do 26/7 whose remainder is 5 days.

Add 5 days after Tuesday.

Tuesday + 5 = Sunday.

Answer: Sunday

Friday

correct answer a

Today is 29th November, 2015 falls on Sunday.

Now 2016 is a leap year. February will have 29 days.
That is a year from 29th November 2015 to 29th November 2016 will have 366 days.

Therefore, after 364 days, the day will be 27th November, 2016.

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.
