Explanation
To determine the day of the week for Education Day (November 11th, 2022), we need to calculate the number of days between Balika Din (January 24th, 2022) and Education Day.
First, let's calculate the remaining days in January: 31 (total days in January) - 24 (day of Balika Din) = 7 days.
Next, we add the number of days in the following months:
- February: 28 days (2022 was not a leap year)
- March: 31 days
- April: 30 days
- May: 31 days
- June: 30 days
- July: 31 days
- August: 31 days
- September: 30 days
- October: 31 days
Total days from January 24th to November 10th: 7 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 279 days.
Adding one more day for November 11th gives us a total of 280 days.
Now we divide the total number of days by 7 (days in a week) to find the remainder: 280 / 7 = 40 with a remainder of 0.
A remainder of 0 indicates that Education Day falls on the same day of the week as Balika Din. Since Balika Din (January 24th, 2022) was a Monday, Education Day (November 11th, 2022) was also a Monday.
