On 7th March, 2005 Monday falls. What was the day of the week on 7th March 2004?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
\(\frac{Date + Month\;code + Century\;code + Century\;upper\;year + Quotient\;of\;\frac{upper\;year}{4}}{7}\)
\(\frac{7 + 3 + 6 + 5 + 1}{7}\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\) = Remainder 1
The day for Code 1 is Monday. So, it is the same day which is given on 7th March, 2005
therefore,
The day for 7th March, 2004 was :
\(\frac{Date + Month\;code + Century\;code + Century\;upper\;year + Quotient\;of\;\frac{upper\;year}{4}}{7}\)
\(\frac{7 + 3 + 6 + 4 + 1}{7}\) = \(\frac{21}{7}\) = Remainder 0
The day for Code 0 is Sunday.
