Which of the following day could be the 18th October 2050?
-
- Tuesday
- Frfiday
- Thursday
- Saturday
Correct Option: A
From Zeller's Formula
f = k + [13 x m - 1 / 5] + D + [D/4] + [C/4] - 2 x C.
In this case k = 18 (since 18th October)
Month m = 8 (As march = 1, April = 2, May = 3, October = 8)
D is the last two digit of year here D = 50 (As year is 2050)
C is the 1st two digit of century here C = 20 (As year is 1950)
f = 18 + [13 x 8 - 1 / 5] + 50 + [50/4] + [20/4] - 2 x 20.
f = 18 + [103/5] + 50 + [12.5] + [5] - 40.
f = 18 + 20 + 50 + 12 + 5 - 40 = 65.
When divided by 7 we will get remainder 2, hence number of odd days is 2,
So 18th October 2050 is 2 days more than Sunday, i.e Tuesday.
