If 28 May 2015 is a Thursday, then what will the day of the week on 24 April 2023?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Monday.
The remaining number of days in 2015: May = 3; June = 30; July = 31; Aug = 31; Sept = 30; Oct = 31 Nov = 30; Dec = 31
= 3 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 =217
From 2016 to 2022: 2 leap years, 5 ordinary years
2 × 2 + 1 × 5 = 9
Number of days from 1st Jan 2023 to 24th April 2023: Jan = 31; Feb = 28; Mar = 31; April = 24
31 + 28 + 31 + 24 = 114
Total number of odd day = (217 + 9 + 114) ÷ 7 = 340 ÷ 7 = 4
Thursday + 4 days = Monday
