Question

If May 5, 2022, is a Thursday, on what day of the week will May 5, 2023, fall?

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

Hint:

Same-date next year trick: add \(+1\) weekday for a common year, \(+2\) if a leap day lies in the interval.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1 (Understand yearly shift).
From a date in one year to the same} date in the next year:
- Common year (365 days) shifts the weekday by \(+1\).
- Leap year (366 days) shifts the weekday by \(+2\).
Step 2 (Identify the type of year in the span).
The span May 5, 2022 \(\) May 5, 2023 covers exactly \(365\) days (no Feb 29). Hence, shift \(= +1\).
Step 3 (Apply the shift).
Thursday \(+\ 1\) day \(=\) Friday.
\[ {\text{Friday (Option (a)}} \]
