  1. March 5, 1999 was on Friday. What day of the week was on March 5, 2000?
    1. Monday
    2. Sunday
    3. Friday
    4. Tuesday
Correct Option: B

As per the given above question , we know that
Year 2000 was a leap year.
Number of days remaining in 1999 = 365 - [31 days of January + 28 days of February + 5 days March] = 301 days = 43 weeks, i.e., 0 odd day.
Number of days passed in 2000 = January 31 days have 3 odd days.
February 29 days (being leap year) have 1 odd day
March 5 days have 5 odd days.
∴ Total number of odd days = 0 + 3 + 1 + 5 = 9 days = 1 week + 2 odd days
Therefore, March 5, 2000 would be two days beyond Friday, i.e., on Sunday.
