If Saturday falls four days after today which is 6th January, on which day did the first of December of the previous year fall ?
Day of 6th January + 4 days = Saturday.
Day of 6th January = Saturday – 4 days = Tuesday.
So, 6th January (of the current year) is a Tuesday.
We need to find the day of the week for 1st December of the previous year.
Let the current year be Y. We are finding the day of 1st December, Y-1.
The period is from 1st December, Y-1 to 6th January, Y.
Number of days in December Y-1 = 31 days.
Number of days in January Y up to 6th = 6 days.
Total number of days = 31 + 6 = 37 days.
To find the day of the week 37 days before Tuesday, we find the number of odd days in 37.
Number of odd days = $37 \pmod 7$.
$37 = 5 \times 7 + 2$. The remainder is 2.
So, 37 days is equal to 5 weeks and 2 days.
The day of 1st December, Y-1 is 2 days before Tuesday.
Tuesday – 1 day = Monday.
Monday – 1 day = Sunday.
