Question 1: If 29 January 2003 is a Wednesday, then what day of the week will be 26 February 2005?
a) Thursday
b) Saturday
c) Friday
d) Sunday
1) Answer (B)
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\ $The day on 26 February 2005 = Wednesday + 3 = Saturday
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
Question 2: What day of the week was 5 February 2008?
a) Thursday
b) Monday
c) Tuesday
d) Wednesday
2) Answer (C)
Solution:
Odd days in year 2007 = 6 + 2 = 8
($\because$ 2004 is the leap year and odd days till 2000 is 0.)
Odd days in 5 February = odd days in January + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
Total odd days = 8 + 8 = 16
Odd days = 16 = 2 weeks + 2 odd days
So day of the week was Tuesday.
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option C.
Question 3: What day of the week was 31 January 2007?
a) Monday
b) Tuesday
c) Thursday
d) Wednesday
3) Answer (D)
Solution:
Number of odd days in 2006 = 7
($\because$ number of Leap year from 2000 to 2007 = 1(2004))
Odd days in 31 January = 31
Total odd days = (31 + 7) = 38
Odd day = 38/7 = 3 remaining
The day of the week was Wednesday.
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option D.
Question 4: What day of the week was 29 June 2010 ?
a) Sunday
b) Monday
c) Wednesday
d) Tuesday
4) Answer (D)
Solution:
Odd day till 2009 = 7 + 2 + 2 = 11
($\because$ Year 2004 and 2008 are leap year and odd days till 2000 = 0)
Odd days in 29 June = Odd days in (January + February + March + April + May + June) = 3 + 0 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 12
Total odd days = 11 + 12 = 23
Odd days = 23/7 = 2 remaining
The days of the week was Tuesday.
$\therefore$ The correct answer is option D.

a) Monday
b) Tuesday
c) Sunday
d) Friday
6) Answer (B)
Solution:
Given, 10 November 2018 was Saturday
Number of days between 15 August 2017 and 15 August 2018 = 365 days
Number of days between 15 August 2018 and 10 November 2018 = 16 + 30 + 31 + 10 = 87 days
Number of days between 15 August 2017 and 10 November 2018 = 452 days
Number of odd days between 29 January 2003 and 26 February 2005 = Remainder of $\frac{452}{7}$ = 4
$\therefore\ $The day on 15 August 2017 = Saturday – 4 = Tuesday
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
Question 7: What was the day of the week on 15 August 2013?
a) Thursday
b) Monday

d) Tuesday
7) Answer (A)
Solution:
15th August 2013 = (2013 years + period between 1-1-2013 to 15-8-2013)
odd days in 2000 = 0
in remaining 13 years = (3 leap years + 9 normal years) = (3 * 2 + 9 * 1) = 15 – 14 = 1 odd days
Total number of days in period between 1-1-2013 to 15-8-2013 = 227 days = 32 weeks + 3 days = 3 odd days
Total number of odd days = (1 + 3) = 4 days
Hence, given day is thursday (0 odd day means sunday, 1 odd day means mon and so on )
