Question 988618: A man spends money according to the date.
Eg: On 15th he will spend 15rs, 19th he will spend 19rs.
One night he will count 5 consecutive days and the amount equals to 61.
What are those 5 consecutive dates?

The five consecutive dates are:
February 27, February 28, March 1, March 2, and March 3 of a year that is not a leap year.
Five consecutive days often will be in the same month and hence consecutively numbered, as in
, , , , and , which add up to
, so the sum would be a multiple of 5.
Since is not a multiple of 5,
the 5 consecutive days must include the end of a month and the beginning of the next month.
If the first month or days,
the possible sums do not add up to :
, ,
, .
So, the first month must be February, with or days.
Since and ,
the sum works.
The other possibility with two days in February and three in March,
, yields a sum that is too high,
and using only one day from February will yield too low a sum.
