Best answer
Answer: B. Saturday
Answer: (B) Saturday
Odd days up to 1600 = 0; 1601–1900 (300 years) = 1; 1901–1948 (48 years, 12 leap years) = 48 + 12 = 60 → 4 odd days.
1 Jan–26 Nov 1949: 31+28+31+30+31+30+31+31+30+31+26 = 330 days → 330 mod 7 = 1.
Total = 0 + 1 + 4 + 1 = 6 odd days → Saturday (0 = Sunday).
