If 16 September 2010 is Thursday, then what will be the day of the week on 17 August 2017?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Thursday.
2010 to 2017 = 7 years (5 ordinary year + 2 leap year)
So, total odd days = 5 + 4 = 9 = 1 week and 2 odd days
Thus, 16 September 2017 will be Thursday + 2 = Saturday
Days between 17 August 2017 to 16 September 2017 = 14 (August) + 16 (September) = 30 days → 30/7 = 4 weeks and 2 odd days.
So, 17 August 2017 will be Saturday - 2 = Thursday.
