Given : 31 January 2009 was a Saturday

Now, 31 January 2009 to 31 January 2013 = 4 Years.

And, 4 years has 1 leap and 3 ordinary year

So total odd days = (1 × 2) + (3 × 1) = 2 + 3 = 5 odd days.

So, 31 January 2013 = Saturday + 5 = Thursday.

But, we need to find the day on 30 January 2013, so subtract 1 day from 31 January 2013.

Therefore, 30 January 2013 will be Thursday - 1 = Wednesday.

Hence, "Wednesday" is the correct answer.
