Calendar – On what date(s) was Saturday in March 2005? Identify all dates in March 2005 that fell on a Saturday.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:Finding all Saturdays in a month once the weekday of a particular date is known is a straightforward progression in steps of 7 days.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Month: March 2005.
  • We seek all Saturdays in that month.

Concept / Approach:Compute or recall a reference weekday (e.g., 1 March 2005 = Tuesday). Then list Saturdays as the first Saturday and every +7 days sequence.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) 1 Mar 2005 was Tuesday; thus first Saturday is 5 Mar 2005.2) Add 7 days repeatedly: 5, 12, 19, 26.

Verification / Alternative check:Cross-check with a calendar for March 2005 to confirm the four Saturdays.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Other sets contain weekdays or dates not fitting the Saturday pattern.

Common Pitfalls:Starting from the wrong weekday or miscounting by ±1 day.

Final Answer:5th, 12th, 19th, 26th
