Question

Vinay met Rohit at the Taj Mahal in Agra on $\text{25 December 1987}$, which was a Friday. Vinay reminded Rohit that their first meeting was also in Agra at the Taj on $\text{6 January 1984}$. On which day did they both meet on first occasion ?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is E Friday

Given, 25 December 1987, was Friday. So, 1 Jan 1988 is also a Friday.
Now, between the date 1 Jan 1984 and 31st Dec 1987 we have 1 leap year and 3 non-leap year.
Number of odd days = 1 X 2 + 3 X 1 = 5 odd days
Therefore, if 1 Jan 1988 is a Friday then 1 Jan 1984 is 5 days before Friday i.e, Sunday.
So, 6 Jan 1984 is clearly a Friday.
Hence, they both met first on Friday, 6 Jan 1984.
