It was Friday on 8 March 1996, then what will be the day of the week on 7 April 2006?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4. i.e. Friday.
Given: 8 March 1996 was Friday.
1996 to 2006 = 10 years
In 10 years there will be 2 leap years and 8 ordinary years (1996 was taken from March so it will be treated as an ordinary year)
2 Leap years = 4 odd days and 8 ordinary years = 8 odd days
Total odd days = 4 + 8 = 12 odd days = 12 / 7 = 1 week and 5 odd days
So, 8 March 2006 will be Friday + 5 = Wednesday
Now, the number of days between 8 March 2006 to 7 April 2006
= 23 (March) + 7 (April ) = 30 days
= 30 / 7 = 4 weeks and 2 odd days
So , 7th April 2006 will be: Wednesday + 2 = Friday
