    • This year’s Independence Day (August 15) falls on a Monday. So, we need to determine the day of the week 15 days before August 15.
  3. Calculate the day of the week for July 31:

    • If August 15 is a Monday, then August 1 is 14 days before August 15, which is also a Monday.
    • Therefore, July 31, which is one day before August 1, will be one day before Monday, which is a Sunday.

So, Mohan's birthday (July 31) will fall on a Sunday this year.
