Question

Answer 1

15 th April 1916 is Saturday

Answer 2

15th April 1916 would be Monday.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 15th March 1816 was Friday.

There is a difference of 100 years and 31 days between 15th March 1816 and 15th April 1916.

Number of Days in 100 years = 100 times 365 + (100/4) 9 For leap years

                                                 =36500 + 25 = 36525

There are 31 days more.

So, total number of days = 36525 + 31 = 36556

Dividing the number of days by 7, we get 2 as the remainder.

So, there is a difference of two days between the two dates.

Hence, it will be Monday on 15th April 1916.
