Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
19th August 1992 means,
1991 complete years + First 7 months of 1992 + 19 days of August
Number of odd days in 1600 years = 0
Number of odd days in 300 yrs = 1
Number of odd days in 91 yrs (22 leap year + 69 non-leap years)
= 22 × 2 + 69 × 1
= 44 + 69 113
= 7 × 16 + 1 = 1 odd day
From 1st January, 1992 to 19th August, 1992
