    March 1, 2008 was Saturday which day was it on March 1, 2002?

    A)  Thursday         

    B)  Friday

    C)  Saturday         

    D)  Sunday

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] In a year, number of weeks = 52 extra day =1 From 2002 to 2008, there are 6 years. So number of extra days = 6 (1) = 6 While 2004 and 2008, there are leap years, having one more extra day apart from the normal extra day. Thus, number of extra days = 6 + 1 + 1 = 8 Out of these 8 extra days, 7 days from a week and so 1 day remains. Hence, March 1, 2002 is 1 day less then March 1, 2008 i.e. it is Friday.
