Q:

What will be the day of the week 15th August, 2010?

A) Sunday B) Saturday
C) Wednesday D) Monday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Sunday

Explanation:

15th August, 2010 = (2009 years + Period 1.1.2010 to 15.8.2010)

 

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

 

Odd days in 400 years = 0

 

9 years = (2 leap years + 7 ordinary years) = (2 x 2 + 7 x 1) = 11 = 4 odd days.

 

Jan. Feb. Mar.  Apr.  May.  Jun.  Jul.  Aug.

(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15) = 227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days.

  

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 4 + 3) = 7 =  0 odd days.

 

Given day is Sunday
