  • Question
  • 26 january 1950 which day of the week?


  • Options
  • A. Monday
  • B. Wednesday
  • C. Thursday
  • D. Tuesday

  • Correct Answer
  • Thursday 

    Explanation

    We know that,

    Odd days --> days more than complete weeks

    Number of odd days in 400/800/1200/1600/2000 years are 0.

    Hence, the number of odd days in first 1600 years are 0.

    Number of odd days in 300 years = 1

    Number of odd days in 49 years = (12 x 2 + 37 x 1) = 61 days = 5 odd days

    Total number of odd days in 1949 years = 1 + 5 = 6 odd days

    Now look at the year 1950

    Jan 26 = 26 days = 3 weeks + 5 days = 5 odd days

    Total number of odd days = 6 + 5 = 11 => 4 odd days

     

    Odd days :-

    0 = sunday ;

    1 = monday ;

    2 = tuesday ;

    3 = wednesday ;

    4 = thursday ;

    5 = friday ;

    6 = saturday

     

    Therefore, Jan 26th 1950 was Thursday.
