Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
20
th June, 1837 means 1836 complete years + first 5 months of the year 1837 + 20 days of June
1600 years give no odd days
200 years give 3 odd days
36 years give (36 + 9 ) or 3 odd days
Thus 1836 years give 6 odd days
From 1
st January to 20
th June there are 3 odd days
Odd days: January 3, February 0, March 3, April 2, May 3, June 6 = 17
Thus the total number of odd days = 6 + 3 or 2 odd days
This means that the 20th of June fell on 2nd day commencing from Monday.
The required day was Tuesday.
