If 21 July 2000 is Friday, then what will be the day of the week on 15 July 2012?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Sunday.
Given: 21 July 2000 is Friday
The days between July 21, 2000 and July 15, 2012.
Number of remaining days in 2000 = 10 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 163
From 2001 to 2011 (11 × 365) + 2 = 4015 + 2 = 4017
(2 days are being added as there are two leap years 2004 and 2008)
From Jan 1, 2012, to July 15, 2012 = 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 +15 = 197
Total number of days = 163 + 4017 + 197 = 4377 ÷ 7 = 2(remainder)
So, two days after Friday will be Sunday.
