easy Q12 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Identify the date range
We move from 15 Mar 2019 → 15 Mar 2020.Step 2: Check whether Feb 29 occurs between these dates
Since the date is after February, the leap day of 2020 (29 Feb) lies between the two dates. So the interval contains 366 days → 2 odd days.Step 3: Apply the shift
Base weekday = Friday. Friday + 2 = Sunday.Final Answer:
Sunday → Option CQuick Check:
Target year 2020 is leap and the date is after Feb → +2 odd days → Friday → Sunday ✅
Quick Trick: For dates after February, if the target year is leap, Feb 29 is included → +2 shift.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Using only the crossed-year method without checking that Feb 29 lies between the dates.
