Question from UPPSC Prelims CSAT 2024
Correct Answer: D) None of the above
Explanation:
To determine the day on 28th March given that 28th February is a Tuesday in a non-leap year, follow these steps:
1. Understand the Calendar Structure:
– February has 28 days in a non-leap year.
– Therefore, 1st March will be the day after 28th February, which is Wednesday.
2. Calculate the Day for 28th March:
– March has 31 days.
– 28th March is exactly 28 days after 1st March.
– Since 28 days constitute exactly 4 weeks, the day remains the same as 1st March.
– Therefore, 28th March will also be a Wednesday.
Answer: D) None of the above
