Question:

If 29 January 2003 is a Wednesday, then what day of the week will be 26 February 2005?

Options:

Saturday

Sunday

Thursday

Friday

Correct Answer:

Saturday

Explanation:

Using Code Method :-

\(\frac{Date+Month code+Year code+Last 2 digits of yr+Leap yrs till given yr}{7}\)

(Note: Remainder of the above sum will be the code of week day}

29 Jan 2003;

29 + 01 + 06 + 03 + 0 = 39

remainder of \(\frac{39}{7}\) = 04

Therefore, the code of 04 is Wednesday

 

Similarly,

26 Feb 2005;

26 + 04 + 06 + 05 + 01 = 42

remainder of \(\frac{42}{7}\) = 0

Therefore, the code of 0 is Saturday
