If 15 August 1947 was Friday, then what was the day of the week on 26 January 1950?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Using Code Method :-
\(\frac{Date+Month code+Year code+Last 2 digits of yr+Leap yrs till given yr}{7}\)
( Note: Remainder of the above sum will be the code of week day }
15 Aug 1947;
15 + 03 + 0 + 47 + 11 = 76
remainder of \(\frac{76}{7}\) = 0
Therefore, the code of 0 is Saturday
Similarly,
26 Jan 1950;
26 + 01 + 0 + 50 + 12 = 89
remainder of \(\frac{89}{7}\) = 05
Therefore, the code of 05 is Thursday
