easy Q3 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Identify the date range
We move from 1 March 2015 → 1 March 2016.Step 2: Check whether Feb 29 is included
Since the date is 1 March, the leap day of 2016 (29 Feb) lies between these two dates. Interval = 366 days → 2 odd days.Step 3: Apply the shift
Base weekday = Sunday. Sunday + 2 = Tuesday.Final Answer:
Tuesday → Option CQuick Check:
Leap day (29 Feb 2016) included → +2 → Sunday → Tuesday ✅
Quick Trick: For dates after February, check if the target year is leap — if yes, Feb 29 is included → +2 shift.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Using the crossed-year method blindly and missing that Feb 29 lies between the dates.
