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.
