Solution
The correct option is A Saturday
This is the birth date of Mahatma Gandhi. Also, 1869 was an Ordinary year, hence the months of January and October had the same calendar, which means 2nd October and 2nd January fell on the same day of the week.
So, 1600+200+(68+68/4LY)+2nd January in the 1869th year
Now 68+68/4LY=68+17=85=1 O.D.
O.D.s =0(for1600)+3(for200)+1(for68)+2 (for 2nd Jan) = 6th day of the week = Saturday.
