In April 2001, on which dates did Wednesday fall?

Introduction / Context:
This question asks you to identify the specific dates in April 2001 that fell on a Wednesday. Once we know the weekday of any one date in April 2001, we can find all Wednesdays by repeatedly adding 7 days.

Given Data / Assumptions:
• Month: April 2001.• April has 30 days.• We use the Gregorian calendar and actual 2001 calendar layout.

Concept / Approach:
The key is to determine the weekday of 1 April 2001, and then list all dates that correspond to Wednesday. This can be done by using known references (like March 2001 or 1 January 2001) and counting forward, or by using a day-of-week formula.

Outline of the Reasoning:
Step 1: Work out the weekday for 1 April 2001 using known methods or references.Step 2: With that anchor, identify which date is the first Wednesday of April 2001.Step 3: Add 7-day intervals to get all subsequent Wednesdays within the month.

If we consult a correct 2001 calendar or perform the detailed calculation, we find that 4 April 2001 was a Wednesday. Adding 7 days repeatedly gives:

• 4th April – Wednesday.• 11th April – Wednesday.• 18th April – Wednesday.• 25th April – Wednesday.

Verification:
All four dates lie within April (which has 30 days), and each is exactly one week apart. Checking against any reliable calendar confirms that these are indeed the Wednesdays in April 2001.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd: These represent a different weekday.12th, 18th, 27th, 6th: The dates are not consistently spaced by 7 days within April.1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd: These fall on another weekday, not Wednesday, in April 2001.

Common Pitfalls:
Students often guess patterns without confirming the weekday of the first date in the month. Sometimes they incorrectly assume that the pattern always starts on the 1st or 2nd of the month. Always anchor at a known weekday and then move in 7-day steps.

Final Answer:
In April 2001, Wednesday fell on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.
