Correct Answer: Monday
Solution :
Given:
The 28th of May 2015 is Thursday.
The remaining number of days in 2015 –
May = 3; June = 30; July = 31; Aug = 31; Sept = 30; Oct = 31 Nov = 30; Dec = 31
3 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 217
From 2016 to 2022 –
365 × 7 = 2555; add 2 days for leap years (2016, 2020) = 2555 + 2 = 2557
Number of days from 1st Jan 2023 to 24th April 2023 –
Jan = 31; Feb = 28; Mar = 31; April = 24
31 + 28 + 31 + 24 = 114
Total number of days = 217 + 2557 + 114 = 2888
The remainder after dividing 2888 by 7 is 4.
Thursday + 4 days = Monday
So, the 24th of April 2023 will be Monday. Hence, the third option is correct.
