If the month of February 2024 started on Thursday, then which date was the first Sunday of July 2024?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
February 2024 begins on a Thursday.
2024 = Leap Year (February = 29 days)
From February to March:
February = 29 days
29 ÷ 7 = 1 (Remainder)
March 1 = Thursday + 1 = Friday
March (31 days)
31 ÷ 7 = 3 (Remainder)
April 1 = Friday + 3 = Monday
April (30 days)
30 ÷ 7 = 2 (Remainder)
May 1 = Monday + 2 = Wednesday
May (31 days)
31 mod 7 = 3 (Remainder)
June 1 = Wednesday + 3 = Saturday
June (30 days)
30 ÷ 7 = 2 (Remainder)
July 1 = Saturday + 2 = Monday
July 2024
July 1 = Monday
Now, the first Sunday:
Mon → Tue → Wed → Thu → Fri → Sat → Sun (July 7)
Correct Answer: (C) 7
