ASunday ✓ Correct
BSaturday
CTuesday
DWednesday
Correct answer: (A) Sunday — 22 April 2012 was a Sunday, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★22 April 2012 was a Sunday, so that is the answer.
★From 22 April 2012 to 22 April 2013 is a span of 365 days.
★The leap day of 2012 falls in February, before this span, so it is not included.
★365 days give one odd day.
★So 22 April 2013 is one weekday ahead of 22 April 2012, meaning the earlier date is one day back from Monday.
★So 22 April 2012 was a Sunday.
