If 30th September 1991 was a Wednesday, then what was the day on 14th March 1992?
Step-by-step Solution:
To solve this, we need to count the total number of days between the start date and the end date. A simpler way is to count the "odd days" for each month in between. An odd day is any day left over after dividing a month's total days by 7.
We'll list the months and calculate the odd days from the end of September 1991 up to our target date.
- Now, we sum up all the odd days:
Total Odd Days = 0 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 0 = 12 days.
- To find the final shift in the day of the week, we find the remainder of this total when divided by 7:
12 ÷ 7 = 1 with a remainder of 5.
- The required day is 5 days after the starting day (Wednesday).
- Wednesday + 5 days = Monday.
Final Answer: The day on 14th March 1992 was a Monday.
