suppose we take a date and a month, multiply the date with 12 (which is the number of months in a year) & the month with 31 (which is the number of days in a month) and add up the two products. suppose we are given that the sum is 555 and asked to find out the date and month.

Question

Akarsha Mandala · Answer

Hi Indraja Nair,
Let date and month be d and m respectively.
It is given,
12d + 31m = 555
d<32 and m < 13
As 12d is always even, m should be odd 
Using trial and error method,
we get, m = 9 and d = 23
Hope this helps!
