Correct Answer: Tuesday


Solution : Given:
31 January 2022 is a Monday.

The number of odd days in a leap year = 2
The number of odd days in a non-leap year = 1

Number of leap years between 2022 and 1922→25
Number of non-leap years between 2022 and 1922→75

Let's calculate the number of odd days→(25 × 2) + (75 × 1) = 50 + 75 = 125
Dividing 125 by 7, the remainder is 6.
Thus, 31 Jan 1922 will be = Monday – 6 = Tuesday

So, 31 Jan 1922 is Tuesday. Hence, the third option is correct.
