5. Additional Notes
For the calendars of two different years to be the same, the following conditions must be
satisfied.
(1)Both years must be of the same type. i.e., both years must be ordinary years or both
years must be leap years.
(2)1 st January of both the years must be the same day of the week.
proof:-
last day of century cannot be Tuesday or Thursday or Saturday.
because 100 century consist 5 odd days, means Friday is the last day.
200 century consists 3 odd days, means Wednesday is the last day.
300 century consists 1 odd day, means Monday is the last day.
400 century doesn't consist any odd day.
cycle continues , hence proof.

100 year contain 24 leap years but how? Please explain it?
(0) (0) Reply
You would expect 25 leap years , since 25x4=100. But years ending with 00 are not
considered to be leap years unless they are divisible by 400 also.
As given in the instructions, every century year not divisible by 4 is not a leap year. So
100th year is considered to be a non-leap year. While you divide 100/4 =25. But 25-
1=24 (for the century year which is non leap year)
