Question

If 23rd April, 1995 is a Tuesday, then what will be the day on 23rd April, 1988?

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine the day of the week for 23rd April 1988, given that 23rd April 1995 is a Tuesday, we need to calculate the number of days between these two dates and observe the day shift accordingly. Here’s the step-by-step process:

1. Identify Leap and Non-Leap Years:
   • From 1988 to 1995, count the leap years and non-leap years.
   • Leap years within this range: 1988, 1992 consist of 2 leap years. 
   • Non-leap years: 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994.
2. Calculate Total Days:
   • Leap year contributes 366 days, while a non-leap year contributes 365 days.
   • Total days = (2 leap years x 366 days/leap year) + (5 non-leap years x 365 days/non-leap year).
   • Total days = (2 x 366) + (5 x 365) = 732 + 1825 = 2557 days.
3. Determine Day of the Week:
   • Total weeks in 2557 days = \(\frac{2557}{7} \approx 365.28\)weeks.
   • Remaining days after complete weeks: 2557 % 7 = 2 days.
   • If 23rd April 1995 is a Tuesday, subtract 2 days to find the day for 23rd April 1988:
   • Tuesday - 2 days = Monday.

Conclusion: Therefore, 23rd April 1988 falls on a Monday. This confirms that the correct answer is Monday.
