The calendar of the year 2025 is same as that of which year?

  1. A.2029
  2. B.2030
  3. C.2031✓ Correct
  4. D.2033

Explanation

For two years to have the same calendar, the total number of odd days between them must be 0 (i.e., a multiple of 7), and both must have the same leap-year property (i.e., both ordinary or both leap). 2025 is an ordinary year. Counting odd days from 2025 onwards: 2025 (1), 2026 (1), 2027 (1), 2028 (2, leap), 2029 (1), 2030 (1). Cumulative odd days after end of 2030 = 7, which is 0 mod 7. So calendar of 2031 = calendar of 2025. Answer is 2031.
