Answer 1

Answer:

A. Wednesday

Solution: We have to calculate the remaining days from 31th December 2000 to 28th June, 2001. Days in December, 2000 = 0 Days in January = 31 Days in February = 28 Days in March = 31 Days in April = 30 Days in May = 31 Days in June = 28 Total Days → 179 Days Dividing 179 days by 7 (as there are 7 days in a week) We get remainder 4. Thus 4 days ahead of 31th December will be the day of 28th June. Hence, on 28th June, 2001 June its Wednesday.
