Read Explanation:
Solution:
We know the year 2000 is the leap year as it is divisible by 4 and also by 400.
The number of odd days in the 2000 years is 0.
Therefore, on 31st December it must be Sunday.
The days in the year 2001 till 11th July 2001 = 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 11 = 192 ÷ 7 = 27 weeks + 3 odd days
The total number of odd days = 3
Code for weekdays:
No. of odd days | Day |
0 | Sunday |
1 | Monday |
2 | Tuesday |
3 | Wednesday |
4 | Thursday |
5 | Friday |
6 | Saturday |
Thus, the 11th July 2001 was Wednesday.
Hence, the correct answer is 2) Wednesday.
