• A. $3^{\text{rd}}$ March
• B. ${18}^{\text{th}}$ Feb
• C. ${17}^{th}$ March
• D. ${24}^{th}$ March

Answer 1

The correct option is C ${17}^{th}$ March

Considering it a leap year

14 Feb $\to$ Wednesday

(14+7) = 21 Feb $\to$ Wednesday

(14+7+7) = 28 Feb $\to$ Wednesday

29 Feb $\to$ Thursday

1 March $\to$ Friday

2 March $\to$ Sat

3 March $\to$ Sunday

(3+7) = 10 March $\to$ Sunday

(3+7+7) = 17 March $\to$ Sunday

$\Rightarrow$ 17 March is the date

when finals were played.
