hard Q10 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Check leap status
1900 is divisible by 100 but not by 400 → not a leap year (ordinary).Step 2: Try 6-year candidate (1900 → 1906)
Leap years between 1901–1905: 1904 → 1 leap; ordinary = 5.Step 3: Compute odd days
Odd days = (5 × 1) + (1 × 2) = 5 + 2 = 7 → 7 ≡ 0 (mod 7) → calendars repeat in 1906.Final Answer:
1906 → Option AQuick Check:
Century non-leap behavior + 6-year gap → 1906 is correct repeat ✅
Quick Trick: Century years not divisible by 400 behave as ordinary years; check 6- and 11-year candidates.
