If 26th January, 2020 was a Sunday, then what day of the week was it on 16th March of that year?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Monday
The weekday repeats every 7 days, so only the odd days, the days left over after whole weeks, move it forward. 2020 is a leap year, so February has 29 days.
Days left in January after the 26th: 27 to 31 \(=5\)
February: 29
March up to the 16th: 16
Total \(=5+29+16=50\) days \(=7\) weeks \(+\) 1 day
Sunday \(+\) 1 day \(=\) Monday
