Understanding the Day Calculation
To determine the day of the week for 8th February 2004, given that 8th February 2005 was a Tuesday, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the Year Difference
- The difference between the two dates is one year (2005 - 2004).
Step 2: Leap Year Consideration
- The year 2004 is a leap year (divisible by 4), which means it has an extra day, February 29.
Step 3: Counting Days Backwards
- From 8th February 2005 (Tuesday) to 8th February 2004 (the previous year):
- Normally, moving back one year would mean subtracting 1 day (Tuesday - 1 day = Monday).
- However, since 2004 is a leap year, we must subtract an additional day for February 29.
Step 4: Calculate the Final Day
- Therefore, the calculation becomes:
- Tuesday - 1 day = Monday
- Monday - 1 day (for the leap year) = Sunday
Final Conclusion
- Thus, 8th February 2004 was a Sunday.
This reasoning confirms that the correct answer is option 'C', Sunday.
