To determine the day of the week on 1st February 2024, given that 2nd February 2025 is a Sunday, we need to calculate the number of days between these two dates and work backwards to find the specific day of the previous year.

Identify the year leap status:

• 2024 is a leap year (divisible by 4).
• 2025 is not a leap year (not divisible by 4).

Calculate the number of days between 1st February 2024 and 2nd February 2025:

Days in 2024:

• February to December 2024 (inclusive): Since February in a leap year has 29 days, there are 31 (Mar) + 30 (Apr) + 31 (May) + 30 (Jun) + 31 (Jul) + 31 (Aug) + 30 (Sep) + 31 (Oct) + 30 (Nov) + 31 (Dec) + 29 (Feb) = 335 days.
• One more day (1st February is not included in the 335 days): 1 day.

Determine the day of the week on 1st February 2024:

Since 2nd February 2025 is a Sunday, we count back 336 days to find the day of the week on 1st February 2024. For 336 days, we compute the remainder when divided by 7 (since there are 7 days in a week):

\(336 \mod 7 = 0\)

This remainder means we go back to a Sunday, thus 1st February 2024 was a Thursday.

Verify and conclude based on calculation:

Based on the computation and checking the leap year count, we find that 1st February 2024 was indeed a Thursday.

Thus, the correct answer is:

Thursday
