What was the day of the week on 25 January 2012?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
\(\frac{Date + Month code + Century code + Century upper year + \frac{Upper year}{4}}{7}\)
⇒ \(\frac{25 + 0 + 6 + 12 + 12/4}{7}\) ⇒ \(\frac{25 + 0 + 6 + 12 + (3 )}{7}\)
⇒ \(\frac{25 + 0 + 6 + 12 + 2}{7}\) = \(\frac{46}{7}\) = Remainder 4
but in case of leap year the day code is reduced by 1 ( only in case of january and february)
The day for Code 3 is Wednesday.
