What day of the week was 26th April 2007?1. Tuesday2. Thursday3. Wednesday4. Saturday

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Thursday

26th April 2007 = 2006 years + period from 1.1.2007 to 26.4.2007

Number of odd days in 1600 years = 0

Number of odd days in 400 years = 0

Number of odd days in 6 years = 1 leap year + 5 ordinary years

= (1 × 2 + 5 × 1) ÷ 7 = 7 ÷ 7 = 0 odd days

Number of days from 1.1.2007 to 26.4.2007 = 31 + 28 + 31 + 26 = 116 days

→ 116 days = 16 weeks + 4 odd days

Total odd days = 0 + 0 + 0 + 4 = 4 = 4 odd days
