Correct Answer: Sunday
Solution :
Given:
The 15th of January 1996 is Monday.
First, find the total number of days –
1996→(1996 is a leap year)
| Jan | Feb | March | April | May | June | July | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
| 16 | 29 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 30 | 31 |
16 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31+ 31+ 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 351
1997→31 + 28 + 30 = 89
| Jan | Feb | March |
| 31 | 28 | 30 |
Total number of days in 1996 and 1997→351 + 89 = 440
On, dividing 440 by 7, we get 6 as a remainder. So, 6 days after Monday is Sunday.
So, the 30th of March 1997 will be Sunday. Hence, the second option is correct.
