Question

If Tuesday falls on ${31}^{\text{st}}$ December 2019, then what is the day on $1^{\text{st}}$ March 2020?

• A. Sunday
• B. Monday
• C. Tuesday
• D. Wednesday

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sunday

Since 2020 is a leap year, February has a total of 29 days.

Total number of days between ${31}^{\text{st}}$ December and $1^{\text{st}}$ March is given by the sum of number of days in the months of January and February of 2020.

$\Rightarrow \text{Required no. of days}=(31+29)\text{days}$
$=60\text{days}$

Dividing 60 days by thetotal number of days in a week, we have:


i.e., 60 days = 8 weeks + 4 days
So, the required day is 5 days after Tuesday.
$\therefore$ $1^{\text{st}}$ March 2020 is a Sunday.
