If 31 August 2008 was Sunday, then what was the day of the week on 30 August 2012?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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}
31 Aug 2008;
31 + 03 + 06 + 08 + 02 = 50
remainder of \(\frac{50}{7}\) = 01
Therefore, the code of 01 is Sunday
Similarly,
30 Aug 2012;
30 + 03 + 06 + 12 + 03 = 54
remainder of \(\frac{54}{7}\) = 05
Therefore, the code of 05 is Thursday
