What day of the week was 1^st January 1901

• (A) Monday
• (B) Tuesday
• (C) Wednesday
• (D) Thursday

Show Answer

 1st Jan 1901 = (1900 years + 1st Jan 1901) We know that number of odd days in 400 years = 0 Hence the number of odd days in 1600 years = 0 (Since 1600 is a perfect multiple of 400) Number of odd days in the period 1601 - 1900 = Number of odd days in 300 years = 5 x 3 = 15 = 1 (As we can reduce perfect multiples of 7 from odd days without affecting anything) 1st Jan 1901 = 1 odd day Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 1) = 2 2 odd days = Tuesday Hence 1 January 1901 is Tuesday.
