If 30th January 2003 was Thursday, what was the day of 2nd March 2003?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Sunday
The weekday repeats every 7 days, so only the odd days, the days left over after whole weeks, move it forward. The days from 30th January to 2nd March 2003 are counted; 2003 is not a leap year, so February has 28 days.
Counting the days (30th January to 2nd March 2003):
January after the 30th: 1 day (31st January)
February: 28 days
March up to the 2nd: 2 days
Total \(=1+28+2=31\) days
31 days \(=4\) weeks \(+\,3\) odd days
The day of the week (only the 3 odd days move it forward):
Thursday + 3 days = Sunday
