We know the following:
Century Code:
1700s = 4
1800s = 2
1900s = 0
2000s = 6
2100s = 4
2200s = 2
2300s = 0
The Month Code:
January = 0
February = 3
March = 3
April = 6
May = 1
June = 4
July = 6
August = 2
September = 5
October = 0
November = 3
December = 5
Day Code:
0 = Sunday
1 = Monday
2 = Tuesday
3 = Wednesday
4 = Thursday
5 = Friday
6 = Saturday
Find Year Code of 2016:
Code =(YY + (YY division 4)) mod 7
=(16 + (16 division 4)) mod 7
=(16 + 4) mod 7
=20 mode 7
On dividing 20 by 7 we get remainder 6.
So, 6 is the year code of 2016.
“Mod” means to divide the number and keep only the remainder.
To find the day we have formula
=(Year Code + Month Code + Century Code + Date Number – Leap Year Code) mod 7
=(6 + 5 + 6 + 20 – 0) mod 7
=37 mode 7 =2 = Tuesday
So, day of the week of 20 December 2016 =Tuesday
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
