Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Given:

  • Independence Day 2014 was on Friday (August 15)
  • X was born on March 6, 2014

Let's count the days from March 6 to August 15 is

March remaining days = 25

April = 30 days

May = 31 days

June = 30 days

July = 31 days

August = 15 days

Total = 162 days

162 days back from Friday:

  • Each week is 7 days
  • 162 mod 7 = 1
  • So going backwards 1 day from Friday
  • 1 day before Friday is Thursday

Therefore, X was born on Thursday.
