  • Question
  • Which of the following day of the week was 15 th august 1947?


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

  • Correct Answer
  • Friday 

    Explanation

    From Zeller's Formula:
    f = k + [13 x m - 1 / 5] + D + [D/4] + [C/4] - 2 x C.
    In this case k = 15 (since 15th August)
    Month m = 6 (As march = 1, April = 2, May = 3, August = 6)
    D is the last two digit of year here D = 47 (As year is 1947)
    C is the 1st two digit of century here C = 19 (As year is 1947)
    f = 15 + [13 x 6 - 1 / 5] + 47 + [47/4] + [19/4] - 2 x 19.
    f = 15 + [77/5] + 47 + [11.75] + [4.75] - 38.
    f = 15 + 15 + 47 + 11 + 4 - 38 = 54.
    When divided by 7 we will get remainder 5, hence number of odd days is 3,
    A remainder of 0 corresponds to Sunday, 1 means Monday,
    So 15th August 1947 is 5 days more than Sunday, i.e Friday.
