If 31 January 2009 was a Saturday, then what was the day of the week on 30 January 2013?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Wednesday.

Logic: 31 January 2009 to 31 January 2013 = 4 years

And, 4 years have one leap year and 3 ordinary years,

So, total odd days = (1 × 2) + (3 × 1) = 5 odd days

So, 31 January 2013 = Saturday + 5 = Thursday

And, 30 January 2013 = Thursday - 1 = Wednesday.
