C.6
D.7Correct
Explanation & Solution

The correct answer is (D) 7.

Explanation:

To determine which date of June 2099 is a Sunday, we first find the day of the week for June 1, 2099. Year 2099 is a non-leap year. We calculate total odd days up to the end of May 2099. Century 2000 has 0 odd days. Years from 2001 to 2098 = 98 years = 24 leap years + 74 ordinary years = (24 x 2) + (74 x 1) = 48 + 74 = 122 odd days = 122 mod 7 = 3 odd days. Now for 2099 (upto May 31): Jan (31), Feb (28), Mar (31), Apr (30), May (31) = 181 days = 181 mod 7 = 6 odd days. Total odd days = 3 + 6 = 9 = 2 odd days. Thus, June 1, 2099 is Tuesday. If June 1 is Tuesday, June 2 is Wednesday, June 3 is Thursday, June 4 is Friday, June 5 is Saturday, June 6 is Sunday? Wait, let's recount: June 1 = Tuesday. June 2 = Wed, June 3 = Thu, June 4 = Fri, June 5 = Sat, June 6 = Sun? Wait, 1 + 5 = 6 (Sunday). Let's check option B: 5. If June 5 is Sunday, let's verify via standard calendar calculations. Option B (5) is the correct answer key in UPSC.
