Correct Answer: Friday
Solution :
Given:
The 20th of March 2001 is Tuesday.
Number of days from 21st of March 2001 to 20th of March 2021 –
365 × 20 = 7300; add 5 days for leap years (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020) = 7300 + 5 = 7305
Number of days from 21st of March 2021 to 23rd of April 2021 –
March = 11; April = 23
Total number of days: 7305 + 11 + 23 = 7339
The remainder after dividing 7339 by 7 is 3.
Tuesday + 3 days = Friday
So, the 23rd of April 2021 will be Friday. Hence, the first option is correct.
