If 1st January 2007 was Monday then what day of the week lies on 1st January 2008?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Tuesday
The weekday moves forward by the odd days left after whole weeks. An ordinary year has 365 days \(=52\) weeks \(+1\) day; a leap year has 2 odd days.
From 1st January 2007 to 1st January 2008 is the whole of 2007
2007 is not a leap year (2007 is not divisible by 4), so it has 1 odd day
Monday \(+1\) day \(=\) Tuesday
