If 26 February 2005 was a Saturday, then what day of the week was 27 January 2003?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

From 27 January 2003 to 27 January 2005 there are 365+366=731365 + 366 = 731 days, since 2004 is a leap year and 29 February 2004 lies in between. Adding 30 more days to reach 26 February 2005 gives 761761 days, and 761=108×7+5761 = 108 \times 7 + 5. So Saturday is 55 days after the required day, which is Monday.
