Question

Nisha was born on $\text{30 January}$. Reshma is older than Nisha by $21$ days. During that year, Republic day was celebrated on a Wednesday. On which day was Reshma born ?

• A. Sunday
• B. Monday
• C. Tuesday
• D. Friday
• E. Saturday

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sunday

Given, Nisha was born on 30 January and during that year, Republic day (or 26th January) was celebrated on a Wednesday.
So, Nisha was born on 30th January i.e., Sunday.
Now, Reshma is older than Nisha by 21 days. So, Reshma must be born on 9th January (= 30 - 21).
Hence, 9th January will also be a Sunday.
