The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Note the reference day.
1st March 2023 was a Wednesday.
Step 2: Calculate the number of days between 1st March 2023 and 1st March 2024.
From 1st March 2023 to 1st March 2024 is 1 year.
Since 2024 is a leap year, February 2024 has 29 days.
So the year has 366 days.
Step 3: Find the number of odd days. \[ 366 \div 7 = 52 \text{ weeks and } 2 \text{ odd days} \] Step 4: Move 2 days ahead of Wednesday. \[ \text{Wednesday} + 2 \text{ days} = \text{Friday} \rightarrow \text{Saturday} \] \bigskip
