Question

Mr. Leelanand Kumar looks at the calendar for 2012, He finds that April 2012 has exactly four Mondays and four Fridays. 1st April 2012 would fall on ?

• A. Tuesday
• B. Wednesday
• C. Thursaday
• D. Saturday

Answer 1

The correct option is D Saturday

Let us start with $1$st April.

If $1$st is a Monday, then April will contain $5$ Mondays. This contradicts the given condition. Hence, $1$st April is not a Monday.

Similarly, $2$nd April cannot be a Monday.

So, $3$rd April is a Monday which satisfies the condition of $4$ Mondays in April. Hence, there will be $4$ Fridays in April (i.e. $7,14,21,28$)

Therefore, $1$st April is a Saturday.
