Answer (1)

Correct Answer: Friday


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, 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.
