Correct Answer: Sunday
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, 10th of October 2021 –
Formula: {Date + (Month code) + (Century code) + ( last two digit of the year) + ((last two digit of the year / 4)'s Quotient)} / 7
Date = 10
Code for the month (October) = 0
Code for the century (2000) = 6
(2021 = 2000 + 21; For 2000 it will be 6 and for 21 it will be 21)
And, 21 ÷ 4 = 5(Quotient)
Now, on adding them we get→10 + 0 + 6 + 21 + 5 = 42
On dividing 42 by 7, we get 0 as a remainder.
0 is the code for Sunday.
So, the 10th of October 2021 will be Sunday. Hence, the second option is correct.
