If 14 May 1953 is Thursday, then what will be the day of the week on 27 July 1963?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Saturday.

14 May 1953 to 31 Dec 1953 = 17 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 231 = 0 odd days 

1954 to 1962 = (2 × 2) + (1 × 7) = 11 odd days

1 January 1963 to 27 July 1963 = 208 days = 5 odd days

Total odd days = (0 + 11 + 5) ÷ 7 = 2 odd days 

So, Thursday + 2 = Saturday
