15th August, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1st Jan., 1947 to 15th )

Counting of odd days:

 1600 years have 0 odd day. 300 years have 1 odd day.

 47 years = (11 leap years + 36 ordinary years)= [(11 x 2) + (36 x 1) ]odd days = 58 odd days = 2 odd days.

Jan  Feb  Mar  Apr  May  Jun  Jul  Aug.

31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 = 227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) = 3,

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 3) odd days = 6 odd days.

Hence, the required day was 'Saturday'.

First,we count the number of odd days for the left over days in the given period.Here,given period is 18.3.1994 to 25.2.1995

Therefore, No. of Odd Days = 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 36 = 1 odd day

So, given day Friday + 1 = Saturday is the required result.

We already know that the calendar after a leap year repeats again after 28 years.

Here 1988 is a Leap year, then the same calendar will be in the year = 1988 + 28 = 2016.

As month begins on Saturday, so 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th days will be Sundays. While 8th and 22nd days are second Saturdays. Thus, there are 7 holidays in all.

Hence, no. of working days = 30 – 7 =23
