Correct Answer: Tuesday
Solution :
Given:
The 19th of December 1992 is Saturday.
First, find the total number of days –
1992→Dec = 31 – 19 = 12
1993 – 2008→(16 × 365) + 4 = 5840 + 4 = 5844
(4 days are added as 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 are leap years.)
2009→
| Jan | Feb | March | April | May | June | July | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
| 31 | 28 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 31 | 30 | 31 | 30 | 22 |
31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 22 = 356
Total number of days→12 + 5844 + 356 = 6212
On, dividing 6212 by 7, we get 3 as a remainder. So, 3 days after Saturday is Tuesday.
So, the 22nd of December 2009 will be Tuesday. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
