What was the day on 25th January, 1975?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Counting the years 1600 + 300 + 74
In 1600 years, there are zero odd days
In 300 years, there is one odd day
In 74 years, there are 18 leap years and 56 normal years, so the odd days are:
18(2) + 56(1) = 36 + 56 = 92,
Which is 13 weeks and 1 odd day
In 25 days of January, 1975, there are 3 weeks and 4 odd days
Total odd days = 0 + 1 + 1 + 4
six odd days, so it was a Saturday.
