The last day of a century cannot be
AMonday
BWednesday
CTuesday ✓ Correct
DFriday
Correct answer: (C) Tuesday
Explanation
The last day of a century can never be Tuesday.
Odd days at a century's end follow a fixed cycle: 100 years give 5, 200 give 3, 300 give 1, 400 give 0.
These remainders 5, 3, 1, 0 correspond to Friday, Wednesday, Monday and Sunday.
So 31 December of any century is only Friday, Wednesday, Monday or Sunday.
Tuesday never appears in this set.
