If 19 July 2000 is Wednesday, then what will be the day of the week on 17 March 2015?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Tuesday.
If 19 July 2000 is Wednesday given,
2000 to 2015 = 15 Years (12 Ordinary Years and 3 Leap Years).
Total odd days = 6 + 12 = 18.
18 odd days → 18 ÷ 7 = 2 weeks and 4 odd days.
then, 19 July 2015 will be Wednesday + 4 = Sunday.
Now, the number of days between 17 March 2015 to 19 July 2015
= 14(March) + 30(Apr) + 31(May) + 30(June) + 19(July) = 124 days.
= 124 days → 124 ÷ 7 = 17 weeks and 5 odd days.
So, 17 March 2015 will be Sunday - 5 = Tuesday.
