If 10 October 2003 was a Friday, then what was the day of the week on 8 October 2015?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Thursday.

2003 to 2015 = 12 Years (9 Ordinary Years and 3 Leap Years).

So, 3 Leap Years have 6 odd days, and, 9 Ordinary Years have 9 odd days.

Total odd days = 6 + 9 = 15.

15 odd days → 15 ÷ 7 = 2 weeks and 1 odd day.

Then, 10 October 2015 will be Friday + 1 = Saturday.

So, the number of days between 10 October 2015 to 8 October 2015 = 2 days.

So, 8 October 2015 will be Saturday - 2 = Thursday.
