Answer (1)
Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Wednesday


Solution : Given:
The 21st of February 2017 is Tuesday.

First, find the total number of days –
2017→7 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 313

Feb March April May June July Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
7 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31

2018 – 2024→(7 × 365) + 2 = 2555 + 2 = 2557
(2 days are added as 2020 and 2024 are leap years.)
2025→Jan= 31; Feb = 5; 31 + 5 = 36
Total number of days→313 + 2557 + 36 = 2906
On, dividing 2906 by 7, we get 1 as a remainder. So, 1 day after Tuesday is Wednesday.

So, the 5th of February 2025 will be Wednesday. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
