On 6th March, 2005 Sunday falls. What was the day of the week on 6th March 2004?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Saturday
The stretch from 6 March 2004 to 6 March 2005 contains 365 days, because the extra day of the leap year, 29 February 2004, falls before 6 March 2004 and is not counted.
365 days leave 1 odd day, so the day of the week moves forward by one. Since 6 March 2005 was a Sunday, 6 March 2004 was a Saturday.
