This set of Aptitude Questions and Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Day”.
1. What will be the day on 22nd April, 2025?
a) Tuesday
b) Sunday
c) Monday
d) Friday
View Answer
Explanation: The given year is 2025.
Number of odd days in 2000 years = 0.
Number of odd days in 24 years = 6 leap years + 18 ordinary years = 6 * 2 + 18 * 1 = 30 ⟹ 4 weeks + 2 odd days.
For the year 2025, we have to consider the period from (1.1.2025 to 22.4.2025).
January has 31 days.
February has 28 days.
March has 31 days.
April has 22 days.
Number of odd days = 31 + 28 + 31 + 22 = 112 days = 16 weeks + 0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = 0 + 2 + 0 = 2.
Therefore the day is Tuesday.

5. It was Tuesday on 12th February, 1924. What was the day on 13th February, 1934?
a) Wednesday
b) Thursday
c) Tuesday
d) Saturday
View Answer
Explanation: Given, the day on 12th February, 1924 is Tuesday.
After 5 years i.e., in 1929 the day on 12th February will be Tuesday. So, 13th February will be Wednesday.
13th February will be Thursday in 1930, Friday in 1931, and Saturday in 1932.
As 1932 is a leap year, 13th February becomes Monday in 1933.
So, 13th February, 1934 will be Tuesday.
6. The day on 5th December, 1906 is Wednesday.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Number of odd days in 1600 years = 0.
Number of odd days in 300 years ⟹ 15 = 1 week + 1 odd day.
For 5 years odd days = 1 leap year + 4 ordinary years = 1 * 2 + 4 * 1 = 6 odd days.
For the year 1906 we have to calculate from the period (1.1.1906 to 5.12.1906).
January has 31 days.
February has 28 days.
March has 31 days.
April has 30 days.
May has 31 days.
June has 30 days.
July has 31 days.
August has 31 days.
September has 30 days.
October has 30 days.
November has 30 days.
December has 5 days.
Number of odd days = 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 5 = 339 days = 48 weeks + 3 odd days.
Total odd days = 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 = 10 = 1 week + 3 odd days.
It is Wednesday.

8. What was the day of the week on 2nd November, 1998?
a) Monday
b) Tuesday
c) Wednesday
d) Thursday
View Answer
Explanation: Number of odd days in 1600 years = 0.
Number of odd days in 300 years = 15 = 2 weeks + 1 odd day.
For 97 years number of odd days = 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years (leap year has two odd days and ordinary year has one odd day).
24 * 2 + 73 * 1 = 48 + 73 ⟹ 121 = 17 weeks + 2 odd days.
For the year 1998 we have to calculate from the period (1.1.1998 to 2.11.1998).
January has 31 days.
February has 28 days.
March has 31 days.
April has 30 days.
May has 31 days.
June has 30 days.
July has 31 days.
August has 31 days.
September has 30 days.
October has 31 days.
November has 2 days.
Number of odd days = 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 2 = 306 days = 43 weeks + 5 odd days.
Total number of odd days = 0 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 = 1 odd day.
So, the day on 2nd November, 1998 is Monday.
9. How many Friday’s are there in the month of March in 2008?
a) 6
b) 5
c) 4
d) 3
View Answer
Explanation: The correct answer is Thursday.
Number of odd days in 2000 years = 0.
Number of odd days in 7 years = 1 leap year + 6 ordinary years = 1 * 2 + 6 * 1 = 8 ⟹ 1 week + 1 odd days.
For the year 2008, we have to consider the period from (1.1.2008 to 1.3.2008).
January has 31 days.
February has 29 days (The year 2008 is a leap year).
March has 1 day.
Number of odd days = 31 + 29 + 1 = 61 days = 8 weeks + 5 odd days.
Total number of odd days = 0 + 1 + 5 = 6.
So, March 1 2008 is Saturday.
So, 7th March, 2008 is Friday and 14th, 21st, 28th are Friday’s.
Number of Friday’s = 4.
