• A. Friday
• B. Monday
• C. Sunday
• D. Saturday

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Sunday

Solution: As 2000 is divisible by 400 the number of odd days is 0. Number of leap years till 2019 = 4 (2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016) Number of ordinary years till 2019 = 15 Number of odd days till 2020 = 15 + (4 × 2) = 23 odd days Number of odd days in January 2020 = 3 Number of odd days in February 2020 (2020 is the leap year) = 1 Total number of odd days till 29th March 2020 = 23 + 3 + 1 + 29 = 56 odd days = 0 odd days So, the day on 29th March 2020 is Sunday.
