If 30th January 2003 was Thursday, what was the day of 2nd March 2003?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Starting date: 30th January 2003 is Thursday

Target date: 2nd March 2003


Days remaining in January after 30th:

31st January = 1 day


Days in February 2003:

2003 is not a leap year (not divisible by 4)

February 2003 has 28 days


Days in March up to 2nd:

1st March and 2nd March = 2 days


Total number of days from 30th January to 2nd March:

=1+28+2= 1 + 28 + 2

=31= 31 days


3131 days =4= 4 weeks +3+ 3 days

=28+3= 28 + 3 days

After 4 complete weeks (28 days), the day remains Thursday.

Adding 3 more days:

Thursday +1+1 day == Friday

Friday +1+1 day == Saturday

Saturday +1+1 day == Sunday

Therefore, 2nd March 2003 was Sunday.
