  • Question
  • Which of the following day could be the 18 th October 2050?


  • Options
  • A. Tuesday
  • B. Frfiday
  • C. Thursday
  • D. Saturday

  • Correct Answer
  • Tuesday 

    Explanation

    From Zeller's Formula
    f = k + [13 x m - 1 / 5] + D + [D/4] + [C/4] - 2 x C.
    In this case k = 18 (since 18th October)
    Month m = 8 (As march = 1, April = 2, May = 3, October = 8)
    D is the last two digit of year here D = 50 (As year is 2050)
    C is the 1st two digit of century here C = 20 (As year is 1950)
    f = 18 + [13 x 8 - 1 / 5] + 50 + [50/4] + [20/4] - 2 x 20.
    f = 18 + [103/5] + 50 + [12.5] + [5] - 40.
    f = 18 + 20 + 50 + 12 + 5 - 40 = 65.
    When divided by 7 we will get remainder 2, hence number of odd days is 2,
    So 18th October 2050 is 2 days more than Sunday, i.e Tuesday.
