12th Jan 1979

1979 = 1900yrs + 78yrs + (period from 1st Jan to 12th Jan 1979)
 1900 yrs have 1 odd day(calculated as 1600yrs have 0 odd days, n 300yrs have 15 odd days i.e.15/7= 2 weeks+1 odd day.so,for 300yrs, it's 1 odd day.totally it's 0+1=1odd day for 1900yrs).
78yrs = 19leap yrs +59 ordinary yrs
          = 19 *2 +59 *1
          = 97days = 13weeks +6 odd days = 6 odd days
period from 1st Jan to 12th Jan 1979 =12 days = 1week + 5odd days = 5 odd days
 Therefore,
12th Jan 1979 = 1+6+5 = 12days =1 week +5 odd days =5 odd days
Therefore, 12th Jan 1979 was a Friday.
(Since,Sunday->0,Monday->1,...,Fri->5,sat->6)

Today is 16/07/2009 - thursday.
So, 12.07.2009 -> Sunday.
From jan - june, calculate the total no of odd days in each month
Jan = 3(31 days... 31%7=3)
Feb = 0
Mar = 3
Apr = 2
May = 3
Jun = 2
Total comes to 13. so, 13%7 is 6 or -1.
Since we are back calculating, take -1 as 1, so proceed one day forward from 12.07.2009 ie Sunady.
So, 12.01.2009 is Monday.
Calculate the total no of odd days in each year, from 1980 to 2009.
1 for normal yrs, and 2 for leap yrs.
There are 30 years from 1980 to 2009, out of which there are 8 leap yrs.
so, 1x22 + 2x8 = 38. now, 38%7 = +3.
Take -3 since we are back calculating.
go 3 days back from Monday(12.01.2009).
its FRIDAY !!!

12.01.1979


1600 - 0
1900 - 15
19 leap year = 38
59 ordinary yr = 59
12

total 0+15+38+59+12 = 124/7 = bal 5
 so that day is friday

Its formula to find the day of any date.

K+[(13M-1)/5)] + [D/4] + D + (C/4) - 2C

K- DATE

M-MONTH

D-LAST TWO DIGITS IN YEAR

C-FIRST TWO DIGITS IN YEAR

For months:

March is considered as first month.

April as second month.

.

.

.

January as 11 th month.(so decrement year by 1)

Febraury as 12th month.(so decrement year by 1)

Substitute all those details in formula

divide the answer by 7.

for remainder 0-sunday

                         1-monday

and soon.

Let me say how to use formula:

K+[(13M-1)/5)] + [D/4] + D + (C/4) - 2C
K- DATE
M-MONTH
D-LAST TWO DIGITS IN YEAR
C-FIRST TWO DIGITS IN YEAR

for months:
March is considered as first month.
April as second month.
.
.
.
January as 11th month (so decrement year by 1)
February as 12th month (so decrement year by 1)
substitute all those details in formula

divide the answer by 7.
(no need to consider the numbers after decimal point)
for remainder 0-sunday
1-monday
and soon.

Solution:

Given
k=12
m=11 (since month is January)
c=19
d=78 (since month is January, year is decremented by 1)
Substituting in formula:

12 +[{(13*11) -1}/5] + [78/4] + 78 + [19/4] - 2(19)
=12+ 28 + 19 +78 +4 - 38
= 103 (discard numbers after the decimal point)

Divide answer by 7
Remainder is 5
So solution is Friday

jan 12,1979-   lets determine the no. of odd days upto year 1978-(1600+300+78)

1600 is divisible by 400,therefore the no.of odd days is 0...

300 yrs has 1 odd day

78yrs consist of (19 leap + 59 ordinary years)=(19x2+59x1)=97 odd days where 2 and 1 are no.of odd days for leap and odd yrs respectively.(97%7=13 ,6 odd days)

therefore,jan 12,1979 falls on saturday!!!

6+12+1=19(18/7 5 odd days)

therefore it is friday!!!

12-01-1979

1900        - 1 odd day

78             - 19 leap years          =  19*2  =38
                    59 ordinary years   =  59*1  = 59
                                                                 --------
                                                                     97 = 6 odd days  (97/7  remainder =6)

date  =12/7  = 5 odd days
  
total odd days  = 1 + 6 + 5  = 12 odd days

i.e  12/7 = 5 odd days

5 means Friday  (0- sun, 1- mon, 2- tue, 3- wed,.............)

ANS : Friday
