Given

January 01 → Sunday

The next Sunday is January 8, which the desk calendar shows as 8/357
The third Sunday is January 15, which the desk calendar shows as 15/350
.
.
Inference → Every Sunday has the numerator in the form of 7n+1

Hence, we can conclude that 7*(30) + 1 is a Sunday

211 → Sunday
212 → Monday
213 → Tuesday
214 → Wednesday

­A certain desk calendar shows the number of the day of the year and the number of days remaining in the year. If the calendar shows 1/364 for Sunday, January 1, on what day of the week does the calendar show 214/151?

Day 1 is a Sunday.

Day 214 is 213 days later.

Every 7 days later will be another Sunday.

210 is divisible by 7.

So, day 213 is 213 - 210 = 3 days after a Sunday.

Monday - 1

Tuesday - 2

Wednesday - 3

A. Sunday
B. Monday
C. Tuesday
D. Wednesday
E. Thursday

Correct answer: D
