Correct Answer: 2024
Every non-leap year have 365 days. i.e (7x52+1) days.
Leap year have 366 days i.e ( 7x52+2) days
A cycle of four years will have 1+1+1+2 days i.e 5 days shift Â
For the days to repeat, the shift should be a multiple of 7.
A cycle of four years if repeated 7 times will have a 35 days shift. Every day will repeat after 4x7 (28 years).
After 1996 the cycle will be in 1996+28 = 2024Â
