If the first day of the leap year is Friday then What day will be the ...
Given: The first day of the leap year is Friday.
To find: What day will be the last day of the year?
Solution:
- A leap year has 366 days.
- We know that the first day of the leap year is Friday. So, we need to find out the day on which the 366th day falls.
- We can divide the leap year into two parts:
- First part: January to February (31 + 29 days = 60 days)
- Second part: March to December (31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 = 244 days)
- In the first part (January to February), there are 60 days. As 60 is divisible by 7, the day on which the last day of February falls will be the same as the day on which the first day of March falls. (For example, if the last day of February is a Wednesday, then the first day of March will be a Wednesday too.)
- In the second part (March to December), there are 244 days. As 244 is not divisible by 7, we need to find the remainder when 244 is divided by 7. The remainder is 5. This means that if the first day of March is a Friday, then the last day of December will be 5 days after Friday, which is Saturday. (If the first day of March is any other day, we can count the days from that day to find the last day of December.)
Answer: The last day of the leap year will be Saturday.
