On 8th Feb, 2005 it was Tuesday. What was the day of the week on 8th Feb, 2004?

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Sunday

Explanation:

Given

  • 8 Feb 2005 = Tuesday.
  • Find the day on 8 Feb 2004 (previous year; 2004 is leap).

Key idea

  • From a date before Feb 29 in a leap year to the same date next year the weekday shifts by +2 (because the interval includes Feb 29).

Apply the rule

8 Feb 2004 → 8 Feb 2005 is +2 days; reversing: 8 Feb 2004 = 8 Feb 2005 − 2 days = Tuesday − 2 = Sunday.

Final Answer
8 February 2004 was Sunday.
