- Tuesday
- Monday
- Friday
- Saturday
Correct Option: A
We know that , Republic day is celebrated on 26 January .
The year 1996 was a leap year and number of days remaining in the year 1996
= ( 366 – 26 ) days = 340 days = 48 weeks + 4 odd days
The years 1997, 1998 and 1999 have 3 odd days in total.
The year 2000 was also a leap year.
Days till August 15, 2000 = January + February + March + April + May + June + July + August = 31 + 29 + 31+ 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 = 228 days
| 228 | = 32 weeks and 4 odd days |
| 7 |
Now, total number of odd days = 4 + 4 + 3 = 11 days
| 11 | = 1 week and 4 odd days |
| 7 |
Thus, August 15th, 2000 was 4 days beyond Friday i.e., Tuesday.
