If it was Monday on 18 December, 1812. Then, what was the day of the…

\(\frac{Date + Month code + Century code + Century upper year + Quotient of Upper year/4}{7}\)

\(\frac{18+5+2+12+3}{7}\)

\(\frac{40}{7}\) =  Remainder 5 means Friday but here Monday is given i.e. 4 days before.

We have to find out 16/09/1917

\(\frac{Date + Month code + Century code + Century upper year + Quotient of Upper year/4}{7}\)

\(\frac{16+5+0+17+4}{7}\)

\(\frac{42}{7}\) =  Remainder 0 means Sunday

Therefore, 4 days before Sunday is Wednesday which is the correct answer.
