  • Question

  • Options
  • A. Wednesday
  • B. Friday
  • C. Thursday
  • D. Saturday

  • Correct Answer
  • Wednesday 

    Explanation

    Consider from 2nd June 2010 to 2nd June 2013 we have total 2 non leap year and one leap year so number of odd days are 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 so 2nd June 2010 must be 4 days back from Sunday and that day is Wednesday.
    From Zeller's Formula:
    f = k + [13 x m - 1/ 5 ] + D + [D/4] + [C/4] - 2 x C.
    In this case k = 2 (since 2nd June)
    Month m = 4 (As march = 1, April = 2, May = 3, June = 4 )
    D is the last two digit of year here D = 10 (As year is 2010)
    C is 1 st two digit of century here C = 20 (As year is 2010)
    f = 2 + [13 x 4 - 1 / 5] + 10 + [10/ 4] + [ 20/4] - 2 x 20.
    f = 2 + [51/5] + 10 +[2.5] + [5] - 40.
    f = 2 + 10 + 10 + 2 + 5 - 40 = -11
    This - ve value of f can be made positive by adding multiple of 7
    So f = - 11 + 14 = 3
    When divided by 7 we will get remainder 3, hence number of odd days is 3,
    So 2nd June 2010 is 3 days more than Monday, i.e Wednesday.
