If 24 August 1932 was a Wednesday, then what was the day of the week on 11 September 1943?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Saturday.
24 August 1932 to 31 December 1932 = 7 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 129 days = 3 odd days
1 Jan 1933 to 31 Dec 1942 = 2 leap years + 8 ordinary years = 2 × 2 + 1 × 8 = 12 odd days
1 Jan 1943 to 11 Sept 193 = 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 11 = 254 days = 2 odd days
Total odd days = 3 + 12 + 2 = 17 ÷ 7 = 3 odd days
Wednesday + 3 = Saturday
