What day of the week was 5 February 2008?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Tuesday.
5 February, 2008 = (2001-2007 years + No. of days from 1.1.2008 to 5.2.2008)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0; Odd days in 400 years = 0
7 years = (1 leap year + 6 ordinary years) = (1 x 2 + 6 x 1) = 8 days → 1 odd day
January + February (31 + 5) = 36 days
So, 36 days = (5 weeks + 1 day) → 1 odd day
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 1 + 1) = 2 → 2 odd days
Thus, the day is Tuesday.
