If January 1 is Friday, then what is the second day of the March in that leap year?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Wednesday
The weekday moves forward by the number of odd days (days left over after whole weeks). Count the days from 1 January to 2 March month by month; February has 29 days in a leap year.
1 January to 1 February: 31 days → 3 odd days
1 February to 1 March: 29 days → 1 odd day
1 March to 2 March: 1 day → 1 odd day
Total \(=3+1+1=5\) odd days
Friday moved on by 5 days is Wednesday (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday).
