Question

विकल्प

• Tuesday

• Wednesday

• Friday

• Thursday

Answer 1

Wednesday

Explanation - 

Number of odd days in a leap year is 2.

Number of odd days in a typical year is one.

Therefore, the number of years from 2016 to 2012 is :

2015	2014	2013	2012
↓	↓	↓	↓
1 odd days	1 odd days	1 odd days	2 odd days

∴ The sum of all odd days is [1 + 1 + 1 + 2] which equals 5 odd days.

∴ 5 on Monday equals Wednesday.

∴ 1 Aug, 2012 was Wednesday
