Calendar:

(i) We follow the Gregorian calendar. It is also known as the Christian calendar or the Western
calendar. The Western calendar is widely used internationally as the civil calendar. The Gregorian
calendar starts on 1st January and ends on 31st December. It is named after Pope Gregorian XIII,
who introduced the calendar in October 1582.

(ii) There are two types of year in this calendar:

(a) Ordinary year: It has 365 days.

(b) Leap year: It has 366 days. The extra day is designated as 29 February. It occurs every four
years. A year cannot be a leap year if it is not divisible by 4, in the case of a century year, it should
be divisible by 400. For example, 1600, 2000 are leap years but not 1700, 1800 and 1900 etc.

(iii) Calendar Problems can be solved using the concept of odd days.

(a) Odd Days: In a given period, the number of days that are more than the weekly cycle are called
odd days.

For example: 9 days = 1 week + 2 days. Then the extra 2 days become odd days.

Similarly, 18 days = 2 weeks + 4 days. Then the extra 4 days become odd days.

Therefore, an ordinary year has 1 odd day and a leap year has 2 odd days.

Reference chart:

Number of odd days Day

0 Sunday

1 Monday

2 Tuesday

3 Wednesday

4 Thursday

5 Friday

6 Saturday

Odd days in 100 years = 5

Odd days in 200 years = 3

Odd days in 300 years = 1

Odd days in 400 years = 0
