If it was Saturday on December 17, 1899. Then what will be the day on ...
The correct answer is b) Saturday.
To find the day on December 22, 1901, given that it was Saturday on December 17, 1899, you can use the following steps:
Count the number of days between December 17, 1899 and December 22, 1901. There are 365 days in a year, so the number of days between these two dates is 365 + 365 + 366 = 1096 days.
Divide the number of days by 7 to find the number of weeks. 1096 days / 7 days/week = 156 weeks and 4 days.
Since it was Saturday on December 17, 1899, the day four weeks later will be the same day of the week. The day on December 22, 1901 will be Saturday.
Therefore, the day on December 22, 1901 will be b) Saturday.

If it was Saturday on December 17, 1899. Then what will be the day on ...
To find the day on December 22, 1901, we need to count the number of days between December 17, 1899, and December 22, 1901.
Step-by-step solution:
1. We know that there are 365 days in a year (except in a leap year), so two years will have 730 days (365 x 2).
2. We also know that there was a leap year in 1900, which means that there were 366 days in that year. Therefore, from December 17, 1899, to December 31, 1900, there were 380 days (365 + 1 leap year day + 14 days in December 1900).
3. From January 1, 1901, to December 22, 1901, there were 355 days (31 days in January + 28 days in February + 31 days in March + 30 days in April + 31 days in May + 30 days in June + 31 days in July + 31 days in August + 30 days in September + 31 days in October + 30 days in November + 22 days in December).
4. Therefore, the total number of days between December 17, 1899, and December 22, 1901, is 735 (380 + 355).
5. Now, since there are 7 days in a week, we can divide 735 by 7 to find the remainder, which will tell us the day of the week on December 22, 1901.
6. 735 divided by 7 gives a remainder of 0, which means that December 22, 1901, is also a Saturday, just like December 17, 1899.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, Saturday.
