Calendar Day After Many Days – UGC NET Question

The days of the week repeat every 7 days. We find the effective shift by computing 50 mod 7. Since 50 = 7 × 7 + 1, the remainder is 1, meaning the day moves forward by 1 from Wednesday. One day after Wednesday is Thursday, so 50 days from now it will be Thursday.

Option A:
Option A, Thursday, is exactly one day after Wednesday and corresponds to a remainder of 1 in the modulo-7 calculation, so it matches the correct reasoning.

Option B:
Option B, Saturday, is three days after Wednesday and would be correct only if the remainder were 3, not 1.

Option C:
Option C, Sunday, is four days after Wednesday and would require a remainder of 4, which does not arise from 50 ÷ 7.

Option D:
Option D, Monday, is five days after Wednesday, again inconsistent with the actual remainder of 1.
