    The first republic day of India was celebrated on 26th January 1950. It was -

    A) Monday          

    B) Tuesday

    C) Thursday       

    D) Friday

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    1600 years have 0 odd day and 300 years have 1 odd day. 49 years contain 12 leap years and 37 ordinary years and therefore (24 + 37) odd days i.e., 5 odd days i.e., 1949 years contain \[\left( 0\text{ }+\text{ }1\text{ }+\text{ }5 \right)\]or 6 odd days. 26 days of January contain 5 odd days. Total odd days \[=\left( 6+5 \right)=11\]or 4 odd days. So, the day was Thursday.
