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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Count the number of days between 30th September 1991 and 14th March 1992.
From 30th September 1991 to 31st December 1991, there are 92 days. From 1st January 1992 to 14th March 1992, there are 31 + 29 + 14 = 74 days. Thus, the total number of days is: \[ 92 + 74 = 166 { days}. \] Step 2: Find the remainder when divided by 7.
Divide 166 by 7: \[ 166 \div 7 = 23 { remainder } 5. \] Step 3: Determine the day.
Starting from Wednesday, count 5 days ahead: Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Monday
Thus, the day on 14th March 1992 is Monday. Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{{Monday}}. \]
