What day of the week was 1 January 1701 Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) Tuesday
B) Monday

D) Saturday
E) Sunday
Explanation:   1 Jan 1701 = (1700 years + 1st Jan 1701)   We know that number of odd days in 400 years = 0   Hence the number of odd days in 1600 years = 0 (Since 1600 is a perfect multiple of 400)   Number of odd days in the period 1601-1700   = Number of odd days in 100 years   = 5   (As we can reduce perfect multiples of 7 from odd days without affecting anything)   1st Jan 1701 = 1 odd day   Total number of odd days = (0 + 5 + 1)=
