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
