Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
16th July, 1776 = (1775 years + Period from 1st Jan, 1776 to 16th July, 1776)Counting of odd days :
1600 years have 0 odd day
100 years have 5 odd days
75 years = (18 leap years + 57 ordinary years)
= [(18 x 2) + (57 x 1)]
= 93 (13 weeks + 2 days)
= 2 odd days
1775 years have (0 + 5 + 2) odd days = 7 odd days = 0 odd day
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul
31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 16
= 198 days
= (28 weeks + 2 days)
Total number of odd days = (0 + 2) = 2
Required day was 'Tuesday'.
