A) 2023 B) 2027
C) 2029 D) 2022
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2029

Explanation:

How to find the years which have the same Calendars : 

 Leap year calendar repeats every 28 years. 

Here 28 is distributed as 6 + 11 + 11.

  

Rules:

a) If given year is at 1st position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 6.

 b) If given year is at 2nd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11.

 c) If given year is at 3rd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11

 

Now, the given year is 2018

We know that 2016 is a Leap year.

2016  2017  2018  2019  2020

 LY    1st     2nd    3rd    LY

Here 2018 is at 2 nd position after the Leap year.

According to rule ( b) the calendar of 2018 is repeated for the year is 2018 + 11 = 2029.
