Answer
Correct choice: (A)
正确答案:(A)
Solution
Note that, if a Tuesday is d days after a Tuesday, then d is a multiple of 7... It follows that year $N −1$ is not a leap year. Therefore, the 100th day of year $N −1$ precedes the given Tuesday in year N by 365−100+300 = 565 days, and therefore is a Thursday, since 565 = 7 · 80 + 5 is 5 larger than a multiple of 7.
注意,如果一个星期二是另一个星期二后 $d$ 天,则 $d$ 是 7 的倍数……由此可知,年份 $N −1$ 不是闰年。因此,年份 $N −1$ 的第 100 天比年份 $N$ 的给定星期二早 $365−100+300 = 565$ 天,因此是星期四,因为 $565 = 7 · 80 + 5$ 比 7 的倍数大 5 天。
