Question

On 8th Nov, 2016 Tuesday falls. What day of the week was it on 8th Dec, 2017?

• A. Sunday
• B. Thursday
• C. Tuesday
• D. Friday

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Finding the Day of the Week 

Step 1: Calculate the Total Number of Days

• From 8th Nov 2016 (Tuesday) to 8th Dec 2017, there are 1 year and 1 month.
• Since 2017 is not a leap year, the number of days in 1 year is 365.
• The number of days from 8th Nov 2017 to 8th Dec 2017 is 30.

\[ \text{Total days} = 365 + 30 = 395 \]

Step 2: Determine Extra Days

Since a week has 7 days, we divide:

\[ 395 \div 7 = 56 \text{ weeks with a remainder of } 3 \]

Step 3: Find the Day

The remainder is 3, meaning we move 3 days forward from Tuesday:

• Wednesday (1 day after Tuesday)
• Thursday (2 days after Tuesday)
• Friday (3 days after Tuesday)

Final Answer

Thus, 8th Dec 2017 falls on a Friday.
