Question : Directions: What was the day of the week on 26th November 1994?
Option 1: Friday
Option 2: Wednesday
Option 3: Saturday
Option 4: Thursday
Correct Answer: Saturday
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, 26th of November 1994 –
Formula: {Date + (Month code) + (Century code) + ( last two digit of the year) + ((last two digit of the year ÷ 4)'s Quotient)} ÷ 7
Date = 26
Code for the month (November) = 3
Code for the century (1900) = 0
(1994 = 1900 + 94; For 1900 it will be 0 and for 94 it will be 94)
And, 94 ÷ 4 = 23(Quotient)
Now, on adding them we get→26 + 3 + 0 + 94 + 23 = 146
On dividing 146 by 7, we get 6 as a remainder.
6 is the code for Saturday.
So, the 26th of November 1994 will be Saturday. Hence, the third option is correct.
