If the month of September 2025 started on Wednesday, then which date will be the first Monday of March 2026?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Total days from September 2025 to February 2026
September 2025 = 30, October 2025 = 31, November 2025 = 30, December 2025 = 31, January 2026 = 31
February 2026 = 28 (2026 is not a leap year)
Total days: 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 28 = 181 days
Odd days = 181 ÷ 7
7 × 25 = 175
Remainder = 6 days
The day of March 1, 2026
If September 1, 2025 = Wednesday
Then
Wednesday + 6 days
Wed(0) → Thu(1) → Fri(2) → Sat(3) → Sun(4) → Mon(5) → Tue(6)
Therefore
March 1, 2026 = Tuesday
March 1, 2026 + 6 days
March 7 = Monday
