Question

If 25th February, 2008 was a Monday, then what was the day of 15th March, 2008?

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

Hint:

When calculating days of the week, always find the total number of days and divide by 7 to find the remainder. The remainder tells you how many days to move forward from the starting day.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this, we need to count the days from 25th February 2008 to 15th March 2008. 
- February 25th to 29th (since 2008 was a leap year): 5 days 
- March 1st to 15th: 15 days So, total days = \( 5 + 15 = 20 \) days. 
Now, divide 20 by 7 (since there are 7 days in a week), we get a remainder of 6. 
Starting from Monday (25th February 2008), moving forward 6 days lands us on Saturday. 
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) Saturday.
