If 6th March, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 6th March, 2004?
Answer:
To determine the day of the week on 6th March, 2004, we need to consider that there are 365 days in a non-leap year. Since 6th March is the same day in both 2004 and 2005, there is only a difference of one year.
Given that 6th March, 2005, is a Monday, we need to go back one year, which means to the year 2004. As 2004 is a leap year, we know February in 2004 had 29 days. To find the day of the week on 6th March, 2004, we need to go back the same number of days as in a non-leap year for January and February (31 days in January + 29 days in February).
Adding these days together (31+29 = 60), we find that 6th March, 2004, was the 60th day of the year. Since 60 is divisible by 7, the day of the week remains the same. Therefore, 6th March, 2004, was also a Monday.
