The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: To find when a specific date falls on the same day of the week, we calculate the number of "Odd Days" between the years.

Ordinary Year: 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 Odd Day.

Leap Year: 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 Odd Days.

Step 1: Calculating odd days year by year from 2009.
Nov 2009 to Nov 2010 = 1 (Ordinary) Nov 2010 to Nov 2011 = 1 (Ordinary) Nov 2011 to Nov 2012 = 2 (Leap Year 2012 included) Nov 2012 to Nov 2013 = 1 (Ordinary)

Step 2: Finding the total sum of 7 odd days.
Nov 2013 to Nov 2014 = 1 (Ordinary) Nov 2014 to Nov 2015 = 1 (Ordinary) Total Odd Days = 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 =

7. Since 7 odd days = 0 net change in the day of the week, the date will again be a Thursday in

2015.
