Gandhi Jayanti (2nd October) fell on a Sunday in 2016. On which day of the week did it fall in 2019?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Wednesday
A date moves one day forward in the week after 365 days and two days forward when a 29th February falls in between.
2 October 2016 to 2 October 2017: 1 odd day (29th February 2016 came before 2 October 2016)
2 October 2017 to 2 October 2018: 1 odd day
2 October 2018 to 2 October 2019: 1 odd day
Total \(=1+1+1=3\) odd days
Sunday + 3 = Wednesday
