Question:

Which day of week was on 27 February, 2020?

Options:

Friday

Sunday

Wednesday

Thursday

Correct Answer:

Thursday

Explanation:

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

\(\frac{27 + 3+ 6+ 20+ 5}{7}\) = \(\frac{61}{7}\) = Remainder 5

But in case of leap year January and February day code is reduced by 1

therefore the day is Thursday
