It was Monday on 16 January 2023. What was the day on 12 January 2024?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Friday
The weekday repeats every 7 days, so only the odd days, the days left over after whole weeks, move it forward. A year of 365 days is 52 weeks + 1 day.
From 16 January 2023 to 16 January 2024 is 365 days, because the February in between (2023) has 28 days: 1 odd day
So 16 January 2024 is Monday + 1 = Tuesday
12 January 2024 is 4 days earlier: Tuesday − 4 = Friday
