Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

15^th Aug, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1.1.1947 to 15.8.1947)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = 1
46 years
= (35 ordinary years + 11 leap years)
= (35 x 1 + 11 x 2)
= 57 (8 weeks + 1 day)
= 1 odd day
Jan.   Feb.   Mar.   Apr.   May.   Jun.   Jul.   Aug
( 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 )
= 227 days
= (32 weeks + 3 days)
= 3 odd days
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 1 + 3) = 5 odd days
Hence, as the number of odd days = 5, given day is Friday.
