If 3rd December 2000 was Sunday, what day was 3rd January 2001?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Wednesday
The weekday repeats every 7 days, so only the odd days, the days left over after whole weeks, move it forward.
December has 31 days, so 3rd January 2001 is 31 days after 3rd December 2000
\(31=4\times7+3\): 4 whole weeks and 3 odd days
Sunday + 3 days = Wednesday
