  1. January 16, 1997 was a Thursday. What day of the week will it be on January 4, 2000 ?
    1. Thuesday
    2. Thursday
    3. Wednesday
    4. Friday
Correct Option: A

First we look for the leap years during this period 1997, 1998, 1999 are not leap years.
1998 and 1999 together have net 2 odd days No. of days remaining in 1997 = 365 - 16 = 349 days = 49 week 6 odd days
January 4, 2000 gives 4 odd days.
∴ Total no. of days = 2 + 6 + 4 = 12 days = 7 Days (1 week) + 5 odd days

Hence, January 4, 2000 will be 5 days beyond Thursday i.e., it will on Tuesday.
