Question:

If it was Tuesday on December 27, 1986, then what will be the day on 30 July, 2011?

Options:

Monday

Wednesday

Tuesday

Saturday 

Correct Answer:

Tuesday

Explanation:

\(\frac{Date + Month code + Century code + Century upper year + Quotient of Upper year/4}{7}\)

\(\frac{27+5+0+86+21}{7}\)

\(\frac{139}{7}\) =  Remainder 6 means Saturday but here Tuesday is given i.e. 4 days before.

We have to find out 30/07/2011

\(\frac{Date + Month code + Century code + Century upper year + Quotient of Upper year/4}{7}\)

\(\frac{30+6+6+11+2}{7}\)

\(\frac{55}{7}\) =  Remainder 6 means Saturday

Therefore, 4 days before Saturday is Tuesday which is the correct answer.
