Republic Day is 26 Jan. 26 Jan 1980 was a Saturday. 1980 was a leap year with 29 Feb being a Friday.

Ninu was born on 3 Mar 1980 which was a Monday. Mini was born 4 days before Nenu(?). If Nenu is a third person then there is insufficient information to solve this puzzle. If Nenu=Ninu then she was born on a Thursday.

its based on concept of calender.
so as a form of intellectual charity let me xplain it.
the birthday falls on 28th.
26th jan is saturday.
26 jan to 28th feb = 33 days.
every 7th day on 26th feb will b sat. n so 28th day's sat.
n so the 33rd day is Friday.
god bless.
(the leap yr. funda not needed)

By your own opening statement, this is reckoned by the calendar. I assume you refer to the widely accepted Gregorian calendar and not the Julian or something even more obscure.

If you actually took the time to have a look at the calendar for 1980, you will see that the date you correctly calculated (Feb 28) is actually a Thursday, as per my answer back in March.

The fact that 1980 is a leap year is indeed relevant because the extra day (Feb 29) changes which date is 4 days before March 3.
