If 12 April 2004 is Monday, then what will be the day of the week on 24 May 2012?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Thursday.
The total number of days from the 12th of April 2004 to the 24th of May 2012:
No. of days from 12 April 2004 to 31 December 2004 = 18 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 +31 + 30 + 31 = 263
No. of days from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2011 = (7 × 365) + 1 = 2556 (1 leap year)
No. of days from 1 January 2012 to 24 May 2012 = 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 24 = 145
So, the total no. of days from 12 April 2004 to 24 May 2012 = 263 + 2556 + 145 = 2964 ÷ 7 = 3 (Remainder)
Thus, Monday + 3 = Thursday
