Question: 4

If it was Saturday on 17^th December, 1982 what will be day on 22^nd December 1984?

(A) Sunday

(B) Monday

(D) Wednesday

View Answer

Ans: A

Clearly, every day repeats itself on the seventh day. Now, 17^th December 1982 - 17^th December 1983 is a period of 365 days. Dividing by 7, we get 52 weeks and one day. Thus, the 365^th day will be the same as the first day i.e., 16^th December 1983 is also Saturday.
Now, 16^th December 1983 - 16^th December 1984 is a period of 366 days (because 1984, being a leap year, has 29 days in February). Thus, as shown above, 14^th December 1984 is also Saturday and thus, 22^nd December 1984 is a Sunday.
