If 3 March 2020 was Tuesday, then what was the day of the week on 3 February 2019?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Sunday.
The logic followed here is:
3 march 2020 was Tuesday
First of all we will check is 2020 is a leap year 2020/4 so, 2020 is a leap year therefore February has 29 days.
Now, we will check days between 4 Feb 2020 - 3 march 2020
i.e. 26 + 3 odd days
= 29/7( because week has 7 days)
remainder is 1 by dividing it so we will -1 in Tuesday i.e. Monday
therefore 3 Feb 2020 is Monday
out, we have to find 3 Feb 2019
then we will do -1 in Monday
so, on 3 February 2019 is Sunday
Hence. Sunday is the correct answer.
