Options

A. Monday
B. Tuesday
C. Thursday
D. Friday

Answer

C

Explanation

According the question
26th January=Saturday
So, 2nd February =Saturday
[`:.` Republic day `=26^(th)` January]
9th Februaary =Saturday
16th February=Saturday
Therefore, 14th February =16th February -2days
=Saturday-days=Thursday
Another method
`:.` 26th January=Saturday
So, number of odd days from 27th January to 14th
February =19`=(19)/(7)=5` odd days
Therefore, `14th` February =Saturday `+5` days
=Thursday.
