Question

If 6th March 1991 was Saturday find the week day for 5th March 2000

Answer 1

If 6th March 1991 was Saturday, then 5th March 2000 will be a Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 6th March 1991 to 31st December 1991 will be total of [(31 - 6) + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31] = 300 days

Now, number of days between 1st January, 1992 to 31st December, 1999 considering the years 1992 and 1996 as leap year, will be

= 366 + 365 + 365 + 365 + 366 + 365 + 365 + 365

= 2922 days.

Now, number of day between 1st January, 2000 to 5th March, 2000 (considering year 2000 as a leap year) = 31 + 29 + 5 = 65 days.

Therefore, the number of days between 6th March, 1991 to 5th March 2000 will be = 300 + 2922 + 65 = 3287 days.

Now, dividing 3287 by 7 we get 4 as remainder.

So, if 6th March 1991 was Saturday, then 5th March 2000 will be a Wednesday. (Answer)
