Question

On what day did 31 December 2000 fall, if 1 January 2000 was Saturday?

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Sunday

The year 2000 is a leap year since it is divisible by 400, so it has 366 days.

The number of days between 1 January and 31 December in the same year is \(366 - 1 = 365\).

Finding the day shift requires computing \(365 \mod 7\), which equals \(1\).

Adding one day to Saturday gives Sunday.

Hence, 31 December 2000 fell on a Sunday.
