If 12 January 2004 is Monday, then what will be the day of the week on 26 February 2011?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Saturday.
No. of days from 12 January 2004 to 31 December 2004 = 19 + 29 + 31 + 30 +31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 354
No. of days from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2010 = (6 × 365) + 1 = 2191 (1 leap year)
No. of days from 1 January 2011 to 26 February 2011 = 31 + 26 = 57
So, the total number of days from 12 January 2004 to 26 February 2011 = 354 + 2191 +57 = 2602 ÷ 7 = 5 (Remainder)
Thus, Monday + 5 = Saturday
