Correct Answer: Saturday
Solution :
Given:
The 14th of May 1953 is Thursday.
Number of days from 14th May 1953 to 27th July 1953 = 17 + 30 + 27 = 74
Number of days from 28th July 1953 to 27th July 1963 = 10 × 365 = 3650
Add 2 days from the leap years 1956 and 1960.
Total number of days = 74 + 3650 + 2 = 3726
On dividing 3726 by 7, the remainder is 2.
Thursday + 2 days = Saturday
So, the 27th of July 1963 will be Saturday. Hence, the third option is correct.
