If it was a Monday on 1 January 2018, what was the day of the week on 31 December 2018?
Options:

Tuesday

Monday

Saturday

Thursday

Correct Answer:

Monday

Explanation:

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

\(\frac{1 + 0 + 6 + 18 + 4}{7}\) = \(\frac{29}{7}\) = Remainder 1

so, remainder is 1

The day for Code 1 is monday. So, it is the same day which is given

therefore,

The day for 31 december 2018 was :

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

\(\frac{31 + 5 + 6 + 18 + 4}{7}\) = \(\frac{64}{7}\) = Remainder 1

The day for Code 1 is monday.
