If 15 August 2006 is a Tuesday, then what will the day of the week on 19 February 2012?

Correct option is B

Given: Find the day of the week for 19 February 2012 if 15 August 2006 is a Tuesday.

Formula Used: Calculate the number of days between the two dates and find the day of the week.

Solution: From 15 August 2006 to 15 August 2011 is 5 years. 5 years = 5 × 365 days = 1825 days.

Adding leap years: 2008 and 2011 = 1 leap year = 1 extra days. Total days = 1825 + 1 = 1826 days.

From 15 August 2011 to 19 February 2012 :

August (16 days) + September (30 days) + October (31 days) + November (30 days) + December (31 days) + January (31 days) + February (19 days) = 188 days. Total days = 1826 + 188 = 2014 days. 2014 ÷ 7 = reminder = 5 day.

Since 15 August 2006 was a Tuesday, adding 5 day makes it Sunday.

Therefore, 19 February 2012 is a Sunday. The correct answer is (b).
