Surit Datta  (9 years ago)

Here 4/12/96 means 4th December 1995
add 28 days with it and get the next date 1/1/96
which means 1st January 1996
again add 28 days with it and get the next date 29/1/96
which means 29th January 1996
again add 28 days,
get 26/2/1996
which means 26th February
as it is leap year
so after adding 28 days we get the next date as,
25/3/96
which is 25th March 1996
so 25/3/96 is the correct answer.

Every date has a gap of 27 days and the 28th day is considered (and not the 27th day).Since any year with 96 at the end is a leap year,there are 29 days in February instead of 28.So,the required answer is 25th March.
