If 2 March 2022 was a Wednesday, what day of the week was it on 2 March 2006?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Thursday
Given: 2 March 2022 - Wednesday
We need to calculate the number of odd days.
The number of odd days in a leap year or non-leap year is 2 and 1 respectively.
From 2nd March 2006 to 2nd March 2022: 12 non-leap years and 4 leap years
So, the number of odd days in 12 non-leap years = 12 odd days,
And in 4 leap years = 4 × 2 = 8 odd days
Total odd days = 12 + 8 = 20 odd days
20 = (2 × 7 + 6)
Odd days will be deducted to 6 odd days.
So, Wednesday - 6 = Thursday.
Hence, Thursday is the correct answer.
