Answer (1)
Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Wednesday


Solution : Code for months –

Month Jan Feb March April May June July Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
Code 0 3 3 6 1 4 6 2 5 0 3 5

Code for days –

Days Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Code 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 or 7

Code for centuries –

1200 1300 1400 1500 1600
6 4 2 0 6

For, 5th of April 1234; –
Formula: {Date + (Month code) + (Century code) + ( last two digit of the year) + ((last two digit of the year / 4)'s Quotient)} / 7

Date = 5
Code for the month (April) = 6
Code for the century (1200) = 6
(1234 = 1200 + 34; For 1200 it will be 6 and for 34 it will be 34)
And, 34 ÷ 4 = 8(Quotient)
Now, on adding them we get→5 + 6 + 6 + 34 + 8 = 59
On dividing 59 by 7, we get 3 as a remainder.
3 is the code for Wednesday.

So, the 05th of April 1234 will be Wednesday. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
