Answer 1

Given:

1 September 2003 is a Sunday.

To Find:

What day is 15 August 2003?

The day of the week comes in multiple of 7.

Solution:

Find the number of days between  15 August 2003 to 1 September:

Number of days = 16

16 days = 2 weeks and 2 days

Therefore if we count back 2 weeks and 2 day:

⇒ 2 days ago will be Saturday

Therefore in this question, 15th august 2003 is a Saturday

Note: On the Calendar,  first day of September 2003 is actually a Monday, and therefore 15th August 2003 is a Friday.
