Let us take two cases
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

In a year we have 53 Sundays only when year start with Sunday (For non leap year) and either with Saturday of Sunday (For leap year).
From zeller's formula 1st January 2001 was Monday
From number of odd days 1st January 2006 will start with Sunday so it had 53 Sunday
Similar 1stJanuary 2009 will start with Thursday.Correct Option: B

Number of odd days between 2013 and 2015 is 2, so we have to find the year which will have 2 odd days between 1977 and required year.
Consider options one by one -
(a) Number of odd days between 1977 and 1981 is 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5 odd days
(b) Number of odd days between 1977 and 1985 is 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 10 odd days or 3 odd days
(c) Number of odd days between 1977 and 1990 is 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 16 odd days or 2 odd days, hence calendar of 1990 is the answer.Correct Option: C

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Calendar of 2 years is similar if number of odd days between these two years is zero. Consider option one by one
(a) Between 1940 to 1946 we have two leap years 1940 and 1944 so number of odd days is 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 8 or 1 hence calendar of these two years is not similar.
(b) Between 1977 to 1982 we have one leap years 1980 so number of odd days is 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 6 calendar of these two years is not similar.
(c) Between 1912 to 1916 we have one leap years 1912 so number of odd days is 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 hence calendar of these two years is not similar.Correct Option: D
