SSC CHSL - 27 May 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q89

If 11 July 2020 was Monday, what will be 14 October 2028?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Monday.

Rule: A normal year shifts the day by +1, A leap year shifts the day by +2.

We’re told 11 July 2020 = Monday.

We want to find the day on 14 October 2028.

So, count the days from 11 July 2020 → 14 October 2028.

From 11 July 2020 to 11 July 2028 = 8 years.
Now add the extra 3 months (July → October) + 3 days (11 → 14). 

Total = 1+1+1+2+1+1+1+2 = 10 odd days → 10 mod 7 = 3 odd days

So, 11 July 2028 = Monday + 3 = Thursday.

  • Remaining July (11 → 31) = 20 days → 20 mod 7 = 6 odd days

  • August = 31 days → 3 odd days

  • September = 30 days → 2 odd days

  • October (up to 14th) = 14 days → 0 odd days

Total = 6+3+2+0 = 11 odd days → 11 mod 7 = 4 odd days

 

11 July 2028 = Thursday

  • 4 odd days = Monday
