Question

In a non-leap year, If $\text{1 January}$ is a Saturday, then on which day will $\text{31 August}$ be ?

• A. Tuesday
• B. Wednesday
• C. Thursday
• D. Friday
• E. Sunday

Answer 1

The correct option is B Wednesday

Given year is non-leap year and 1 Jan of the year is Saturday.
Let us find the number of odd days between 1 Jan and 31st Aug.
Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun July Aug
Days 30(=31 -1) + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 = 242 days or 34 weeks and 4 odd days
So, the day on 31st Aug will be the 4th day after Saturday i.e., Wednesday.
Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
