Questions : If Republic day was celebrated in 1996 on Friday, on which day in 2000 Independence day was celebrated?

(a) Monday

(b) Tuesday

(c) Wednesday

(d) Saturday

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (b)

Number of days in 1996 (366-26) = 340

Number of days in 1997 = 365

Number of days in 1998 = 365

Number of days in 1999 = 365 

Number of days from January 2000 to July 2000 = 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31

= 213 

Number of days from 1st to 15th August, 2000 = 15

∴ Total days = 340 + 365 + 365 + 365 + 213 + 15 = 1663

∴ 1663 ÷ 7 = remainder 4

∴ 1663 days = (237 X 7 + 4) days = 237 weeks + 4 days

∴  Number of odd days = 4

∴  Day on 15th August, 2000 = Friday + 4 Odd days = Tuesday
