If January 1, 2024, was a Monday, what day of the week will January 1, 2025, be?

Model Answer & Options

Source: Extra Practice

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Monday

Explanation

To solve this, we must first determine if the year is a leap year. 2024 is divisible by 4, making it a leap year, which contains 366 days. In a leap year, the calendar shifts forward by 2 days from the start of the year to the start of the next year (since 366 divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 2). Therefore, Monday + 2 days = Wednesday. Tuesday is incorrect because that would be the shift for an ordinary year (365 days). Thursday is incorrect as it assumes a 3-day shift, and Monday is incorrect as it assumes no shift at all.
