Correct Answer: Tuesday
Correct Answer: Tuesday
Explanation:
16th July, 1776 = (1775 years + Period from 1st Jan, 1776 to 16th July, 1776)
Counting of odd days :
1600 years have 0 odd day.
100 years have 5 odd days.
75 years = (18 leap years + 57 ordinary years) = [(18 x 2) + (57 x 1)] = 93 (13 weeks + 2 days) = 2 odd days
1775 years have (0 + 5 + 2) odd days = 7 odd days = 0 odd day.
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul
31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 16 = 198 days= (28 weeks + 2 days)
Total number of odd days = (0 + 2) = 2.
Required day was 'Tuesday'.
Correct Answer: Friday

On 31st December, 2005 it was Saturday.
Number of odd days from 2006 to 2009 = (1 + 1 + 2 + 1) = 5 days.
