Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Saturday.

22 March 2000 to 22 March 2010 = 10 Years (2 Leap Year + 8 Ordinary Years)

Days between  22 March 2010 to 16th January 2010 = 22 (March) + 28 (February) + 15 (Jan) = 65 ÷ 7 → 9 Weeks + 2 Odd days

Thus, 16th January 2010 = Monday - 2 = Saturday
