5th January 2018 was a Friday. On which of the following years will 5th January again fall on a Friday?
A2024
B2022
C2020
D2023
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 2024
1. Each ordinary year shifts the weekday by 1; a leap-year February (Feb 29) in between adds an extra day.
2. From 2018: +1 (2019), +1 (2020), +2 (2021, leap 2020), +1 (2022), +1 (2023), +1 (2024) = total 7 ≡ 0.
3. So 5th January 2024 is again a Friday.
