What was the day of the week on 24 August 1923?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Friday
Calculating the number of odd days in 24 August 1923 = 1600 + 300 + 23 + 1st Jan 1923 to 24th Aug 1923
1600 years has 0 odd days
300 years has 1 odd day
23 years has 5 leap years and 18 normal years which is 5 × 2 + 18 × 1 = 28 odd days or simply 0 odd days.
In 1923, the number of days up to 24 August = 4 odd days
Total odd days = 5 odd days
So the required day was Friday.
Hence, the correct answer is Friday.
