  • Question
  • March 5, 1999 was on Friday. What day of the week was on March 5, 2000?


  • Options
  • A. Monday
  • B. Sunday
  • C. Friday
  • D. Tuesday

  • Correct Answer
  • Sunday 

    Explanation

    As per the given above question , we know that
    Year 2000 was a leap year.
    Number of days remaining in 1999 = 365 - [31 days of January + 28 days of February + 5 days March] = 301 days = 43 weeks, i.e., 0 odd day.
    Number of days passed in 2000 = January 31 days have 3 odd days.
    February 29 days (being leap year) have 1 odd day
    March 5 days have 5 odd days.
    ? Total number of odd days = 0 + 3 + 1 + 5 = 9 days = 1 week + 2 odd days
    Therefore, March 5, 2000 would be two days beyond Friday, i.e., on Sunday.
