Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Establish the reference date.
1st March 2023 was a Wednesday.
Step 2: Determine the duration between 1st March 2023 and 1st March 2024.
The period from 1st March 2023 to 1st March 2024 encompasses 1 year.
As 2024 is a leap year, February 2024 contains 29 days.
Consequently, the year comprises 366 days.
Step 3: Calculate the number of remaining days. \[ 366 \div 7 = 52 \text{ weeks and } 2 \text{ odd days} \] Step 4: Advance 2 days from Wednesday. \[ \text{Wednesday} + 2 \text{ days} = \text{Friday} \rightarrow \text{Saturday} \] \bigskip
