What day of the week was 29 june 2010?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e Tuesday.

29th June, 2010 = (2001-2009 years + Number of days from 1.1.2010 to 28.6.2010

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

9 years = (2 leap years + 7 ordinary years) = (2 x 2 + 7 x 1) = 11 days → 4 odd days

Jan + Feb + March + April + May + June

(31  + 28  +   31   +   30   +  31   +   29) = 180 days

Therefore, 180 days = (25 weeks + 5 days) → 5 odd days

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 4 + 5) = 9 → 9 days → 1 week  + 2 odd days.

Thus, the day is Tuesday.
