Code for centuries –
For, 24th of August 1923 – Formula: {Date + (Month code) + (Century code) + ( last two digit of the year) + ((last two digit of the year / 4)'s Quotient)} / 7
Date = 24 Code for the month (August) = 2 Code for the century (1900) = 0 (1923 = 1900 + 23; For 1900 it will be 0 and for 23 it will be 23) And, 23 ÷ 4 = 5(Quotient) Now, on adding them we get→24 + 2 + 0 + 23 + 5 = 54 On dividing 54 by 7, we get 5 as a remainder. 5 is the code for Friday.
So, the 24th of August 1923 will be Friday. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
