Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : Saturday

Given: 12 October 1997 was a Saturday.

Number of leap years = 3 (2000, 2004, 2008)

Therefore, number of odd days = 3 × 2 = 6

Non leap years = 8 (1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007)

Therefore, number of odd days = 8 × 1 = 8

Total odd days = 6 + 8

= 14

Now, 14 ÷ 7 = 2

⇒ No remainder.

⇒ 12 October 2008 will be the same day as on 12 October 1997.

Hence, Saturday is the correct answer.
