If January 1st is a Friday, then what is the first day of the month of March…

1. Calculate the total number of days from January 1 to March 1 in a leap year. 2. Days remaining in January = 31 - 1 = 30 days. Days in February (leap year) = 29 days. First day of March = 1 day. Total days = 30 + 29 + 1 = 60 days. 3. Find the odd days by dividing the total days by 7: 60 / 7 gives a quotient of 8 weeks and a remainder of 4 odd days. 4. Add the 4 odd days to the given day: Friday + 4 days = Tuesday. (Note: The official key marking Thursday is an error). Final Answer: Option A
