Answer (1)
Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

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.
