If 15 August 2006 is a Tuesday, then what will the day of the week on 7 September 2017?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e., Thursday.
Given: 15 August 2006 is a Tuesday,
2006 to 2017 = 11 years (8 ordinary years and 3 leap years)
So, 3 leap year has 6 odd days,
Total odd days = 6 + 8 = 14
14 odd days = 14/7 = 2 weeks and 0 odd days,
Then, 15 August 2017 will be Tuesday + 0 = Tuesday
Now, the number of days between 15 August 2017 to 7 September 2017
= 16 (August) + 7 (September) = 23 days
= 23 days = 23/7 = 3 weeks and 2 odd days
So, 7 September 2017 will be Tuesday + 2 = Thursday.
