Question

Answer 1

The 6th march will be Wednesday.

Answer 2

Wednesday will be the day on 6th March 2012.

Given:

26th December 2012 = Thursday

To find:

Day on 6th March 2012

SOLUTION:

The number of days from 6th March to 26th December is =

25 days of march

30 days of April

31 days of May

30 days of June

31days of July

31 days of August

30days of September

31days of October

30 days of November

26 days of December

Now we will add all these numbers:

$= 25+30+31+30+31+31+30+31+30+26\\\\= 295 days$

Now we will find out the number of odd days in 295 days:

$= \frac{295}{7}$

After dividing this number we will get 1 as the remainder.

Therefore, there is one odd day.

Hence the day on 6th March will be

$= thursday -1\\\\= wednesday$

Wednesday will be the day on 6th March 2012.
