If it was Wednesday on 15 November 2017, so what was the day on 26 January 2016?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Tuesday
Count the days from 26 January 2016 to 15 November 2017. From 26 January 2016 to 26 January 2017 is 366 days, because 29 February 2016 lies inside that year, and from 26 January 2017 to 15 November 2017 is a further 293 days.
The total is 659 days, and 659 ÷ 7 leaves a remainder of 1. So 15 November 2017 falls one weekday after 26 January 2016. Since that Wednesday is one day later, 26 January 2016 was a Tuesday.
