1977 is an ordinary year. We know that the calendar of an ordinary year repeats after 6 yrs or 11 yrs.

Year

Number of odd days 

1978

1979

1980

2

1981

1982

1983

1986

1987

1988

2

Therefore,

Number of odd days from 18.09.1977 to 18.09.1983=7, i.e., 0 odd day

It means that in 1983, 18th September would fall on Sunday.

and number of odd days from 18.09.1977 to 18.09.1988 = 14, i.e., 0 odd day.

Now, it is clear that 2 birthdayस would fall on Sunday in the next 15 yrs.
