The last day of a century cannot be: |
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Friday |
Tuesday |
⇒ 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.
