Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Wednesday

Sohan was born on $25$th February $2012$.

Hasan is younger to Sohan by four days. So, Hasan' was born on $29$th February $2012$.

Given that ${26}^{th}$ January $2012$ falls on Thursday.

$26+5={31}^{st}$ January which is Tuesday.

Now, if we add $29$ more days we get the day on which Hasan's birthday falls.

Since, ${31}^{st}$ Jan was Tuesday. So, $7^{th}$ Feb falls on Tuesday.

Similarly, ${14}^{th},{21}^{st}$ and ${28}^{th}$ Feb also falls on Tuesday.

Thus, ${29}^{th}$ February falls on Wednesday.

Hence, Hasan's birthday falls on Wednesday.
