Answers
Given:
1st date = 11th June, 1782
2nd date = 8th August, 1778
To find:
Which day of the week is 8th August, 1778.
Solution:
Number of days left in the year 1782 = number of days left in the month of june + july + august+ September+ October+ November+ December
= 19+ 31 + 31+ 30 + 31+ 30+ 31 = 203 days
Number of days on the year 1783= 365
Number of days on the year 1784 = 366
Number of days on the year 1785= 365
Number of days on the year 1786 = 365
Number of days on the year 1787 = 365
Number of days on the year 1788 till 8th august = 31+29+31+30+31+30+31+8 =221
Total number of days = 2250
When number just smaller than 2250 which is divisible by 7 = 2247
These are the number of perfect weeks that have passed.
That means only 3 extra days are there.
Therefore Thursday will be the answer.
Thursday is the correct answer.
