Choose the correct answer:
- A.
Sunday
- B.
Monday
(Correct Answer) - C.
Tuesday
- D.
Saturday
Monday
Explanation
To find the day after a specific number of days, we calculate the remainder when the total days are divided by 7. This remainder represents the "odd days."
Total Days=61
Odd Days=61(mod7)
Since 7×8=56:
61=(7×8)+5
Remainder (Odd Days)=5
Now, we add the number of odd days to the current day:
Wednesday+5 days=?
Counting forward from Wednesday:
-
Thursday
-
Friday
-
Saturday
-
Sunday
-
Monday
∴Correct Option: B
