In a non-leap year, if Republic Day (26th January) falls on a Friday, on which day will Ambedkar Jayanti (14th April) fall in the same year?
Model Answer & Options
Source: Extra PracticeFriday
Saturday
Sunday
Monday
Explanation
We calculate the total number of days between the two dates: Remaining days in January = 5 (31 - 26); February = 28 (non-leap year); March = 31; April = 14. Total days = 5 + 28 + 31 + 14 = 78 days. Now, divide 78 by 7 to find the remainder: 78 ÷ 7 = 11 weeks and 1 remainder day. Since the remainder is 1, we move 1 day forward from Friday. Friday + 1 day = Saturday. Friday is wrong because it implies a remainder of 0; Sunday and Monday are wrong because they imply remainders of 2 and 3 respectively.
