Question 28

If 29 January 2003 is a Wednesday, then what day of the week will be 26 February 2005?

Solution

Given, 29 January 2003 is a Wednesday

Number of days between 29 January 2003 and January 29 2004 = 365 days

Number of days between 29 January 2004 and January 29 2005 = 366 days

Number of days between 29 January 2005 and 26 February 2005 = 28 days

Number of days between 29 January 2003 and 26 February 2005 = 365 + 366 + 28 = 759 days

Number of odd days between 29 January 2003 and 26 February 2005 = Remainder of $$\frac{759}{7}$$ = 3

$$\therefore\ $$The day on 26 February 2005 = Wednesday + 3 = Saturday

Hence, the correct answer is Option B
