If 1st January 2001 was a Monday, what was the day on 26th January 2003?

Question

Accepted Answer

#### Step 1: Determine Days from 2001 to 2003
- **2001** was a non-leap year (365 days = 52 weeks + 1 extra day).  
  Hence, **1st January 2002** was a **Tuesday**.

- **2002** was also a non-leap year (365 days = 52 weeks + 1 extra day).  
  Hence, **1st January 2003** was a **Wednesday**.

#### Step 2: Count Days to 26th January 2003
From **1st January 2003 (Wednesday)** to **26th January 2003**, count the days:  
- Total days = $$26 - 1 = 25$$ days.  
- Divide into weeks: $$25 \div 7 = 3 \, 	ext{weeks} \, + \,4 \, 	ext{days}$$.

Adding **3 weeks** and **4 days** to Wednesday:  
- After **3 weeks**, it is still Wednesday.  
- Add **4 days**: Wednesday → Thursday → Friday → Saturday → Sunday.

Thus, **26th January 2003** was a **Sunday**.

Therefore, the correct answer is **2. Sunday**.
