Question

If 1st May 2019 was Wednesday, then what was the day on 12th May 2016?

• A. Wednesday
• B. Sunday
• C. Thursday
• D. Friday

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Thursday

Solution: Given: 1st May 2019 was Wednesday. Now, 1st May 2019 to 1st May 2016 = 3 years, And, these 3 years has 3 odd days (Because no leap year counted between them) So, 1st May 2016 = Wednesday - 3 = Sunday, But, we need to find the day on 12th May 2016, So, 1st May 2016 to 12th May 2016 = 11 days, 11 days = 11/7 = 1 week and 4 odd days. Now, adding that 4 odd days in Sunday, then, we get 12th May 2016 = Sunday + 4 = Thursday. Hence, the correct answer is "Option C".
