Understanding Karan's Birth Date
Karan was born on Saturday, March 22, 1982. To determine the day of the week when he turned 14 years, 7 months, and 8 days old, we need to add this duration to his birth date.
Calculating the Age
- 14 Years:
March 22, 1982 + 14 years = March 22, 1996
- 7 Months:
March 22, 1996 + 7 months = October 22, 1996
- 8 Days:
October 22, 1996 + 8 days = October 30, 1996
Now we find that Karan was 14 years, 7 months, and 8 days old on October 30, 1996.
Determining the Day of the Week
To find the day of the week for October 30, 1996, we can use the known day of the week from his birth date and calculate forward.
Steps to Calculate the Day
- Days from March 22 to October 30:
- March 22 to March 31: 9 days
- April: 30 days
- May: 31 days
- June: 30 days
- July: 31 days
- August: 31 days
- September: 30 days
- October 1 to October 30: 30 days
Total days = 9 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 30 = 21 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 = 251 days
Calculating the Weekday
- Finding the Weekday:
- Start from Saturday (March 22, 1982)
- 251 days % 7 = 6 days
- Counting forward from Saturday:
- Saturday (0)
- Sunday (1)
- Monday (2)
- Tuesday (3)
- Wednesday (4)
- Thursday (5)
- Friday (6)
- Saturday (7)
Thus, October 30, 1996, was a Wednesday.
Final Answer
Therefore, Karan was 14 years, 7 months, and 8 days old on a Wednesday. Hence, the correct answer is option 'C'.
