Answer (1)
Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Monday


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 –

1600 1700 1800 1900 2000
6 4 2 0 6

For, 20th of July 2009 –
Formula: {Date + (Month code) + (Century code) + ( last two digit of the year) + ((last two digit of the year / 4)'s Quotient)} / 7
Date = 20
Code for the month (July) = 6
Code for the century (2000) = 6
(2009 = 2000 + 09; For 2000 it will be 6 and for 9 it will be 9)
And, 9 ÷ 4 = 2(Quotient)
Now, on adding them we get→20 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 2 = 43
On dividing 43 by 7, we get 1 as a remainder.
1 is the code for Monday.

So, the 20th of July 2009 will be Monday. Hence, the third option is correct.
