Step-by-Step Solution

From 15 Aug 1947 to 15 Aug 2047 is 100 years containing the leap days of 1948, 1952, …, 2044: 25 of them (2000 is a leap year). Odd days = 100 + 25 = 125 ≡ 6 (mod 7). So 1947 is 6 days earlier in the week than 2047, i.e. 1 day later: Thursday → Friday. (Thursday ignores the shift; Saturday adds 2.)
Answer: B) Friday
