SSC CHSL - 03 July 2024 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q76

If 17 August 2003 was a Sunday, then what was the day of the week on 12 September 2014?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Friday.

2003 to 2014 = 11 Years (8 ordinary years and 3 Leap years)

So, 3 Leap Years have 6 odd days, And 8 Ordinary Years have 8 odd days.

Total odd days = 14/7 = 2 weeks and 0 odd days.

Ten, 17 August 2014 will be Sunday + 0 = Sunday

Now, the number of days between 17 August 2014 to 12 September 2014 = 26 days.

26 days = 26/7 = 3 weeks and 5 odd days.

So, 12 September 2014 will be Sunday + 5 = Friday.
