Question

If 1st January 2021 was a Friday, what day of the week was 1st January 2022?

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

Hint:

Divide the total days by 7 to find how many complete weeks pass. The remainder shows how many days the day of the week shifts forward.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify if 2021 is a leap year or not.
2021 is not divisible by 4, so it is a common year with 365 days.
Step 2: Calculate the number of weeks and leftover days in 365 days.
\[ 365 \div 7 = 52 \text{ weeks } + 1 \text{ day} \] Step 3: Since 1st January 2021 was a Friday, the day on 1st January 2022 will be 1 day ahead.
\[ \text{Friday} + 1 \text{ day} = \text{Saturday} \] Therefore, 1st January 2022 was a Saturday.
