Answer (1)
Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Thursday


Solution : Given:
The 2nd of March 2022 was a Wednesday.

Let's calculate the total number of days from the 2nd of March 2006 to the 2nd of March 2022 –
16 × 365 = 5840 + 4 = 5844
(4 days are being added as 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 are leap years.)
Now, on dividing 5844 by 7, we get 6 as a remainder.
So, Wednesday – 6 days = Thursday

The 2nd of March 2006 will be Thursday. Hence, the third option is correct.
