Explanation
To determine the day of the week for October 10, 2027, we can use the concept of odd days.
-
Find the day for January 1, 2027:
- We know January 1, 2024, was a Monday.
- From Jan 1, 2024, to Jan 1, 2025: 2024 is a leap year (366 days = 52 weeks + 2 odd days). So, Jan 1, 2025 = Monday + 2 days = Wednesday.
- From Jan 1, 2025, to Jan 1, 2026: 2025 is a common year (365 days = 52 weeks + 1 odd day). So, Jan 1, 2026 = Wednesday + 1 day = Thursday.
- From Jan 1, 2026, to Jan 1, 2027: 2026 is a common year (365 days = 52 weeks + 1 odd day). So, Jan 1, 2027 = Thursday + 1 day = Friday.

Calculate odd days from January 1, 2027, to October 10, 2027:
- January (remaining 30 days from Jan 2 to Jan 31): 30 mod 7 = 2 odd days
- February (2027 is not a leap year, 28 days): 28 mod 7 = 0 odd days
- March (31 days): 31 mod 7 = 3 odd days
- April (30 days): 30 mod 7 = 2 odd days
- May (31 days): 31 mod 7 = 3 odd days
- June (30 days): 30 mod 7 = 2 odd days
- July (31 days): 31 mod 7 = 3 odd days
- August (31 days): 31 mod 7 = 3 odd days
- September (30 days): 30 mod 7 = 2 odd days
- October (first 10 days): 10 mod 7 = 3 odd days
Total odd days = 2 + 0 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 23 odd days. Now, find the remainder when 23 is divided by 7: 23 mod 7 = 2.
-
Add the odd days to the reference day: Starting from Friday (Jan 1, 2027) + 2 odd days = Sunday.
Therefore, October 10, 2027, will be a Sunday.
The final answer is A) Sunday.
