What will be the day of the week on 26 January 2028?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Wednesday.
We know that 1st January 2000 was a Saturday.
The Leap and Normal Years from 2000 to 2027
Leap years (divisible by 4): 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024 → 6 leap years → 6 × 2 = 12 days
Normal years→ 18 normal years → 18 × 1 = 18 days
Total extra days = 12 + 18 = 30 ÷ 7 = 4 weeks + 2 extra days, we add 2 days to Saturday.
Thus, 1st January 2028 will be a Monday.
From 1st January to 26th January, there are 25 days.
25 ÷ 7 = 3 weeks + 4 extra days.
Monday + 4 days = Friday
