On what dates of April, 2001 did Wednesday fall?
1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th
2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th
3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th
4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
Answer: Option
Explanation:
We shall find the day on 1st April, 2001.

1st April, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

Jan. Feb. March April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1)     = 91 days 0 odd days.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0

On 1st April, 2001 it was Sunday.

In April, 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.

Shortcut:

From 0(AJ),1(JO),2(My),3(Ag),4(FMrN),5(Jn)6(SD).

And 1-S,2-M,3-T,4-W,5-TH,6-FR,7 or 0- Sat.

finding day on 1/4/2001.

1+0+(2001-1900)+(2001-1900)/4.

1+0+101+25 ; 101/4=25.25 take the whole number (25 only).

127/7=18 reminder 1 which represents day Sunday.

This means that if Sunday is 1 then Wednesday is 4 therefore,
Option D is right.

Check all options and do verification by finding the day of 1st april (31+28+31+1) = 91 hence 91/7 = 13 remainder 0 therefore 1st april is sunday.

How to find number of Sundays in a year (leap/non-leap)?

Aarthi said:   1 decade ago
Can someone explain why we also added 1 April.

Why (31+28+31+1) =91.

And why not (31+28+31) = 90 because we have to find no of odd days before April so that we can find day on 1 April.

Can someone explain?

x+2+1+25+6 = 3.
x+34-3 = 0.
x+31 = 0.
x+28+3 = 0 (28/7 = 0).
x+3 = 0.
4+3 = 7 = 0 (7/7 = 0).
x = 4, 11, 18, 25.

When to take 28 days or 29 days in (31+28+31+1) means when will we take 29 in place of 28?
