Question

If 1st January, 2001 was a Monday, what was the day on 26th January, 2003?

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

2001 to 2002:

• 2001 is a non-leap year, so it has 365 days.
• 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day.
• Therefore, 1st January 2002 was Tuesday (Monday + 1 day).

2002 to 2003:

• 2002 is a non-leap year, so it has 365 days.
• 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day.
• Therefore, 1st January 2003 was Wednesday (Tuesday + 1 day).

1st January 2003 to 26th January 2003:

• The difference between 26th January and 1st January is 25 days.
• 25 days = 3 weeks + 4 days.
• Therefore, 26th January 2003 was Sunday (Wednesday + 4 days).

Therefore, 26th January, 2003 was a Sunday.

The correct answer is Option 2.
