Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
⇒ 100 years contain 5 odd days.
∴ last day of 1st century is 'Friday'
⇒ 200 years contain (5×2)=10 odd days = 3 odd days.
∴ last day of 2nd century is 'Wednesday'.
⇒ 300 years contain (5×3)=15 odd days =1 odd day.
∴ Last day of 3rd century is 'Monday'.
⇒ 400 years contain 0 odd days.
∴ Last day of 4th century is 'Sunday'
Since the order is continually kept in successive cycles, we see that the last day of a century cannot be Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.
