Question

Which year subsequent to $1996$ had the same calendar as that of the year $1996$ ?

• A. $2001$
• B. $1998$
• C. $1997$
• D. $1999$
• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

None of these

Count the number of odd days from the year 1996 (a leap year) onwards to get the sum equal to 0 odd day.

Year	1996	1997	1998	1999	2000
Odd day	2	1	1	1	2

Sum of days = 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 7 days = 0 odd days
But the year 1996 is a leap year and 2001 is a non-leap year.
So, calendar of none of the year given in options is same as that of 1996.
Hence, option (E) is the correct answer.
