If 19 December 1992 is Saturday, then what will be the day of the week on 22 December 2009?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Tuesday.
The 19th of December 1992 is Saturday.
The total number of days – 1992 → December = 31 - 19 = 12 odd days
1993 - 2008 → (16 × 365) + 4 = 5840 + 4 = 5844
(4 days are added as 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 are leap years.)
2009 → 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 22 = 356
Total number of days = 12 + 5844 + 356 = 6212 ÷ 7 = 3 (remainder)
So, 3 days after Saturday is Tuesday.
So, the 22nd of December 2009 will be Tuesday.
