Question 14

If 27th February 2011 was Sunday, then 1st March 2012 will be what day of the week?

Solution

According to the question, 27th February 2011 is Sunday

Number of days left in February = $$28-27=1$$

Similarly, odd days from 27th February 2011 till 1st March 2012 = 

= $$(1+31+30+31+30+31+31+30+31+30+31+31+29+1)\%7$$      (February has 29 days in 2012)

= $$1+3+2+3+2+3+3+2+3+2+3+3+1+1=32$$

Now, dividing 32 by 7, remainder = 4

Thus, day on 1st March 2012 = Sunday (+4) = Thursday

=> Ans - (A)
