If January 1, 1992 was a Wednesday, what day of the week was January 1, 1993?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Friday

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
We compare two New Year days one year apart. The shift depends on whether the previous year was leap.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Jan 1, 1992 = Wednesday.
  • 1992 is a leap year.


Concept / Approach:
From Jan 1, 1992 to Jan 1, 1993 the weekday advances by +2 because 1992 has 366 days.


Step-by-Step Solution:
Wednesday + 2 days = Friday.


Verification / Alternative check:
Calendars for 1992–1993 show Friday for Jan 1, 1993.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Monday, Tuesday, Sunday do not reflect the +2 leap-year shift.


Common Pitfalls:
Using +1 as if 1992 were common.


Final Answer:
Friday
