Assume 5th January 2024 was Saturday, then what will be the day on 5th January 2026?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Tuesday
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 has 1 odd day and a year of 366 days has 2. Moving from 5 January 2024 one year at a time:
5 January 2024 to 5 January 2025: 366 days (29 February 2024 falls in between), 2 odd days: Saturday + 2 = Monday
5 January 2025 to 5 January 2026: 365 days, 1 odd day: Monday + 1 = Tuesday
