What was the day of the week on 10 June 2011?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Friday.

10 June, 2011 = (2010 years + Number of days from 1.1.2011 to 10.6.2011)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0; Odd days in 400 years = 0

10 years = (2 leap years + 8 ordinary years) = (2 x 2 + 8 x 1) = 12 days → 5 odd days

Number of days from 1.1.2011 to 10.6.2011

Total number of days = 161 days = 0 odd days

Total number of odd days = (0 + 5) = 5 → 5 odd days

Thus, the day is Friday.
