Given:

Siva was born on April 15, 2022. The same year Independence day was celebrated on Monday.

To determine the day Siva was born, we need to calculate the number of days between Siva's birth date (April 15, 2022) and Independence Day (August 15, 2022), 

Calculate the number of days between April 15, 2022, and August 15, 2022:

Remaining days in April 2022 (April has 30 days): 30 - 15 = 15 days

Days in May 2022: 31 days

Days in June 2022: 30 days

Days in July 2022: 31 days

Days in August 2022 (up to the 15th): 15 days

Total number of days = 15 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 = 122 days

Calculate the number of "odd days":

122 ÷ 7 = 17 weeks and 3 days remainder.

So, there are 3 odd days between April 15, 2022, and August 15, 2022.

We know that August 15, 2022, was a Monday. To find the day of the week for April 15, 2022, we need to go backward by the number of odd days.

Monday - 3 day = Friday

 

Thus, Siva was born on a Friday.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
