After 61 days means it should be counted as 62nd day.

So 61/7=56 (quotient). So 56th day is Sunday.

62-56=6 that is Saturday.

So and is Saturday.

Take a simple example, i.e,

Today is Monday after 2 days it will be which day?

The answer will be Thursday day, not Wednesday.

Monday day code is 1.

Given days + Monday daycode=(1+61)=62.

To find odd days 62 is divided by 7.
62÷7=6 remainder.
Sunday day code-0.
Mon-1,
Tue-2,
Wed-3,
Thurs-4,
Fri-5,
Sat-6.

So, 62÷7 we get remainder 6 so, the day code of 6 is Sat. So the answer is SATURDAY.

Firstly calculate the leap years and ordinary days in 61 days.

(15 leap + 46 ordinary days)
[15*2+46*1] =76. "Because leap year having 2 odd days ".

In 76 days there are 10 weeks.
So left 6 are reminder odd days.
Answer is Saturday.

Today is Monday.
Let's take 1- Monday
8 - Monday
15 - Monday
.....................
64 - Monday.

So 63 is Sunday, 62 Saturday, 61 is Friday.

Thanks for the simple answer @Ajay.

Last two digits of year =20 (2020).

Divide it by 4 =5(quotient).

Take the date (the date that you are working this problem) =3 since am doing it on this date...
Month = 0 (0,3,3,6,1,4,6,2,5,0,3,5) October falls for number zero.

Year =6 (1600-1699=6), 1700-1799=4, 1800-1899=2, 1900-1999=0, 2000-2099=6.
Add all = that will give us 34.
Divide it by 7(days in a week).
Take reminder =34/7 remainder is 6.
Sun = 0
Mon = 1
Tue = 2
Wed = 3
Thu = 4
Fri = 5
Sat= 6.

So, the Answer here is Saturday.

@All.

Here, is the solution.

Today is considered as Monday.
61th day=?
a week has 7 days..
there are 8 weeks, 7 days in 61.
8*7=56.

The 56th day must be the same Monday.
56+remaining days from 61.
(ie)56+(61-56).
=56+5.
56(mon) + 5(tue + wed + thur + fri and the fifth day is Saturday)
so, the answer is Saturday.

@Ajay.

How to take odd days? Please explain.

61 days= 8 weeks + 5 days.
= 5 odd days.

Since Monday= 1 odd day,
= (1+5) odd days,
= 6 odd days.


Monday - 1
Tuesday - 2
Wednesday - 3
Thursday - 4
Friday - 5
Saturday - 6
Sunday - 0

So, the answer is Saturday.

Find the odd days in 61 days.
61÷7,remainder = 5.
5 odd days so, Monday + 5 = Saturday.
