If 5th January, 1991 was Saturday, then what day of the week was it on 4th March 1992?

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

Hint:

In leap years, February has 29 days. Counting extra days precisely is crucial for accurate day calculation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

From 5th January 1991 to 5th January 1992 is exactly 366 days because 1992 is a leap year.
- 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 extra days
- Since 5th January 1991 was Saturday, 5th January 1992 will be:
\[ \text{Saturday + 2 days} = \text{Monday} \] Now count from 5th January 1992 to 4th March 1992:
- January 6 days (till 31st Jan)
- February 29 days (leap year)
- March 4 days
Total = 6 + 29 + 4 = 39 days
- 39 days = 5 weeks + 4 extra days
- Starting from Monday, adding 4 days leads to:
\[ \text{Monday + 4 days} = \text{Wednesday} \]
Thus, the correct answer is Wednesday.
