Case (i) : When year start with Sunday then next 4 years will always have 52 Sundays hence total number of Sundays are 53 + 3 x 52 = 209 Sundays
Case (ii) : When year start with Sunday and then we have 53 Sundays that means year is a leap year then next 4 years will always have 52 Sundays hence total number of Sundays are 53 + 3 x 52 = 209 Sundays.Correct Option: B

Counting the number of days after 3rd November. 1994 we have :
Number of Days in November = 27 or 6 odd days.
Number of Days in December = 31 or 3 odd days.
Number of Days in January = 31 or 3 odd days.
Number of Days in February = 28 or 0 odd days.
Number of Days in March = 20 or 6 odd days.
So total number of odd days = 6 + 3 + 3 + 0 + 6 = 18 when divided by 7 gives remainder 4.
Number of odd days = 4
The day on 3rd November, 1994 is (7 - 4) days beyond the day on 20th March, 1995.
So, the required day is Thursday.Correct Option: C

In a period of 100 years there are 23 or 24 leap (as for century year it might be or might not be a leap leap year, as 1900 was not a leap year)
Number of odd days in a period of 100 years is 100 + 23 or 100 + 24 or 123/124 odd days.
Number of odd days in 100 years is when 123/124 divided by 7, remainder is 4 or 5. So next century should start with Friday or Saturday.Correct Option: B
