Correct Answer - Option 1 : Thursday

We’ll divide 2013 in different years

2000 years + 12 years + 2013 ( Jan + Feb + March + April + May + June + July + till 15 august)

There are 3 leap years and 9 non-leap years from 2001 to 2012. Therefore, no. of odd days in this period = 1

Also, 2013 is a non-leap year.

Thus, odd days in the given above years = [0 + 1 + (3 + 0 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1)] mod 7

Total odd days = 18 and  18 ÷ 7 = 4 (remainder)

Days codes:

Sunday – 0

Monday – 1

Tuesday – 2

Wednesday – 3

Thursday – 4

Friday – 5

Saturday – 6

Code 4 is for Thursday.

Hence, “Thursday” is the correct answer.
