Correct Answer: Saturday


Solution : Given:
The 16th of January 2015 was Friday.

Let's calculate the total number of days from the 16th of January 2010 to the 16th of January 2015 –
5 × 365 = 1825 + 1 = 1826
(1 day is being added as 2012 is a leap year.)
Now, on dividing 1826 by 7, we get 6 as a remainder.
So, Friday – 6 days = Saturday

So, the 16th of January 2010 is Saturday. Hence, the third option is correct.
