Correct Answer: Saturday
Solution : Code for months –
Code for days –
Code for centuries –
For, 17th of November 1855 – Formula: {Date + (Month code) + (Century code) + ( last two digit of the year) + ((last two digit of the year / 4)'s Quotient)} / 7
Date = 17 Code for the month (November) = 3 Code for the century (1800) = 2 (1855 = 1800 + 55; For 1800 it will be 2 and for 55 it will be 55) And, 55 ÷ 4 = 13 (Quotient) Now, on adding them we get→17 + 3 + 2 + 55 + 13 = 90 On dividing 90 by 7, we get 6 as a remainder. 6 is the code for Saturday.
So, the 17th of November 1855 will be Saturday. Hence, the third option is correct.
