The correct option is D Thursday
Independence day = 15th August
Given that 1st January 2018 was Monday.
Since 2018 is not a leap year, there will be 1 extra day after 52 weeks.
Thus, 1st January 2019 will be a Tuesday.
Number of days between 1st January 2019 and 15th August 2019 = 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 14 = 226
When we divide 227 by 7, we get 32 as quotient and 2 as remainder, which means it is 32 weeks and 2 days.
Thus, 15th August 2019 will be a Thursday.
