Correct option is B
Solution:
Step 1: Starting Day of the Year
- A leap year starts on a Tuesday.
- January 1 is a Tuesday.
Step 2: Days in January and February
- January has 31 days.
- January 1 is a Tuesday.
- January 31 will then be a Thursday (because 31 days mean the 31st is 3 days ahead of Tuesday).
- February has 29 days in a leap year.
- Since January 31 is Thursday, February 1 will be a Friday.
- February 29 will fall on a Friday.
Step 3: Day of March 1
- Since February 29 is a Friday, March 1 will be a Saturday.
Step 4: Finding the Third Saturday in March
- March 1 is a Saturday.
- The first Saturday in March will be March 1.
- The second Saturday in March will be March 8.
- The third Saturday in March will be March 15.
Final Answer:
The third Saturday of March falls on March 15, so the correct answer is:
