SSC CHSL - 08 July 2024 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q77

If 19 November 2003 is Wednesday, then what will be the day of the week on 25 March 2011?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

2003 to 2010 = 7 years (2 Leap years + 5 ordinary years)

Odd days in 2 Leap years = (2 × 2) = 4

Odd days in 5 ordinary years = (5 × 1) = 5

Total odd days = 4 + 5 = 9 days = 1 week and 2 odd days

Thus, 19 November 2010 = Wednesday + 2 = Friday

Days between 19 November 2010 to 25 March 2011 = 11 (remaining days in November) + 31 (December) + 31 (January) + 28 (February) + 25 (March) = 126 days. = 126 days → 126/7 = 18 weeks and 0 odd days.

So, 25 March 2011 will be Friday + 0 = Friday.
