Solution

The correct option is A 0.0
Moving forward from 11th January 2015, every coming 7th day will be a Wednesday.
Number of days between 11th January 2015 and 11th January 2016 = 365 days
But, 365 is not divisible by 7 and so 11th January 2016 is not a Wednesday.
Number of days between 11th January 2015 and 11th January 2017 = 365 + 366 (as 2016 is a leap year) = 731 days. Again, 731 is not divisible by 7 and so 11th January 2017, is not a Wednesday.
Following the same process for the years 2018, 2019 and 2020, it is found that none of his subsequent birthdays till 2022, i.e. 11th January 2018, 11th January 2019 and 11th January 2020 is a Wednesday.
Thus, the required answer is 0.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

11 जनवरी, 2015 से आगे बढ़ते हुए, आने वाला प्रत्येक 7वां दिन बुधवार होगा।
11 जनवरी, 2015 और 11 जनवरी, 2016 के बीच दिनों की संख्या
= 365 दिन।
किन्तु, 365 की संख्या 7 से विभाज्य नहीं है और इसलिए 11 जनवरी, 2016 को बुधवार नहीं है।
11 जनवरी, 2015 और 11 जनवरी, 2017 के बीच दिनों की संख्या = 365 + 366 (क्योंकि 2016 एक अधिवर्ष है) = 731 दिन। पुन:, 731 की संख्या 7 से विभाज्य नहीं है। इसलिए 11 जनवरी, 2017 को बुधवार नहीं है।
इसी प्रक्रिया को वर्ष 2018, 2019, और 2020 के लिए लागू करने पर, यह ज्ञात होता है कि 2020 तक उसके किसी भी जन्मदिन अर्थात् 11 जनवरी 2018, 11 जनवरी 2019 और 11 जनवरी 2020 को बुधवार नहीं है।
इसलिए उत्तर 0 है।
