SSC MTS - 11 Feb 2026 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q27

What was the day of the week on 15 July 2012?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

2012 is a leap year.

January 1, 2012 = Sunday

Total days up to July 15:

January = 31

February = 29

March = 31

April = 30

May = 31

June = 30

July = 15

Total = 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 15 = 197 days

Excluding January 1st:

197 - 1 = 196 days

196 ÷ 7 = 28 (No remainder)

No extra days → The day remains the same

Final Answer: Sunday
