Q:

What was the day of the week on, 16th July, 1776?

A) Tuesday B) Wednesday
C) Monday D) Saturday

Answer:   A) Tuesday



Explanation:

16th July, 1776 = (1775 years + Period from 1st Jan, 1776 to 16th July, 1776)

Counting of odd days :

1600 years have 0 odd day.

100 years have 5 odd days.

75 years = (18 leap years + 57 ordinary years) =  [(18 x 2) + (57 x 1)] = 93 (13 weeks + 2 days) = 2 odd days


1775 years have (0 + 5 + 2) odd days = 7 odd days = 0 odd day. 

 

Jan   Feb   Mar   Apr   May   Jun   Jul  

31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 16 = 198 days= (28 weeks + 2 days) 

 

Total number of odd days = (0 + 2) = 2.  

Required day was 'Tuesday'.
