CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. 2019 is ordinary and 2019 is 3 more than a multiple of 4 (2016). For such a year the calendar repeats after 11 years.

  2. Check by odd days: 2019–2029 contain 3 leap years (2020, 2024, 2028), so odd days =11+3=14= 11 + 3 = 14, a multiple of 7.

  3. 2030 is ordinary and starts on a Tuesday like 2019, so the answer is 2030.

Worth noting

2025 uses the 6-year gap, which works only for a year just after a leap year. 2036 starts on Tuesday too, but it is a leap year.
