Question
In the year 2017, the Republic day was celebrated on Thursday. On which day was three days before the Republic day celebration in the year 2020?OptionsSaturdayMondayThursdayFriday
Solution
The Republic Day of India is celebrated every year on 26th January. In 2017, it was on a Thursday.
A common year in the Gregorian calendar has 365 days, which is 52 weeks and 1 day. So, the day of the week advances by one day from one year to the next. For example, if Republic Day is on a Thursday in one year, it will be on a Friday the next year, Saturday the year after that, and so on.
So, in 2018, Republic Day was on a Friday. In 2019, it was on a Saturday. And in 2020, it was on a Sunday.
Three days before Sunday is Thursday. So, three days before Republic Day in 2020 was on a Thursday.
