What was the day of the week on 2nd January 2010, if it was Sunday on 1st January 2006?
Solution
Given that 1st January 2006 was a Sunday, we need to find the day on 2nd January 2010.
The total time span needs to be calculated from 1st January 2006 to 2nd January 2010.
Counting the number of days in each year:
Year 2006: 365 days (not a leap year)
Year 2007: 365 days (not a leap year)
Year 2008: 366 days (leap year, divisible by 4)
Year 2009: 365 days (not a leap year)
From 1st January 2010 to 2nd January 2010: 1 day
Total days
Total days
To find the day of the week, we calculate the number of complete weeks and remaining days:
remainder
This means
The remainder is 6 days.
Starting from Sunday (1st January 2006) and moving forward 6 days:
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Therefore, 2nd January 2010 was a Saturday.
The correct answer is Option 1: Saturday.
