If 1st January, 2024 was a Monday, then which day of the week was 1st January, 2025 ?
Wednesday
Moving forward by one full year shifts the weekday by the number of odd days in that year: 1 odd day for an ordinary year of 365 days and 2 odd days for a leap year of 366 days.
Step 1 — The period from 1 January 2024 to 1 January 2025 is the whole of 2024. 2024 is divisible by 4 and is not a century year, so it is a leap year with 366 days.
Step 2 — \(366 = 52 \times 7 + 2\), so the year contains 52 complete weeks and 2 odd days.
Step 3 — Moving 2 days forward from Monday gives Monday → Tuesday → Wednesday.
Taking only one odd day (as for a 365-day year) would wrongly give Tuesday; Thursday and Monday correspond to 3 and 0 odd days, which do not fit a leap year.
Wednesday option is correct.
