easy Q13 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Identify the date range
We move from 10 Oct 2015 → 10 Oct 2016.Step 2: Check leap-day inclusion
The target year 2016 is a leap year, and the date (10 Oct) is after February. Hence Feb 29, 2016 lies between these dates → interval = 366 days → 2 odd days.Step 3: Apply the shift
Base day = Saturday. Saturday + 2 = Monday.Final Answer:
Monday → Option DQuick Check:
Leap-day included → +2 → Saturday → Monday ✅
Quick Trick: For dates after February, crossing into a leap year always includes Feb 29 → +2 shift.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Checking only the previous year's type instead of determining whether Feb 29 lies between the dates.
