Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Monday.
2 August 2016 = Tuesday
No. of odd days from 2 August 2016 to 2 August 2020 = (3 × 1) + (1 × 2) = 5 odd days
2 August 2020 = Tuesday + 5 = Sunday
Now, the number of days between 2 August 2020 to 19 October 2020
= 29(August) + 30(September) + 19(October) = 78 ÷ 7 = 11 weeks and 1 odd day
So, 19 October 2020 will be Sunday + 1 = Monday
