If 15 August 1947 was a Friday, what day of the week was 15 August 1948 ?
Sunday
The number of days between 15 August 1947 and 15 August 1948 is 366, because this period includes 29 February 1948, which falls in a leap year.
Since \(366 \div 7\) leaves a remainder of 2, the day of the week advances by 2 days.
Starting from Friday and adding 2 days gives Saturday and then Sunday.
Hence, 15 August 1948 was a Sunday.
