Options:

Tuesday

Sunday

Saturday

Monday

Correct Answer:

Monday

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 }

31 Dec 2003;

31 + 06 + 06 + 03 + 0 = 46

remainder of \(\frac{46}{7}\) = 04

Therefore, the code of 04 is Wednesday

 

Similarly,

07 March 2005;

07 + 04 + 06 + 05 + 01 = 23

remainder of \(\frac{23}{7}\) = 02

Therefore, the code of 02 is Monday
