    ​What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?​
    Question

    ​What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?​

    A.

    Sunday​​

    B.

    Friday

    C.

    Saturday

    D.

    Thursday

    Correct option is A

    Logic:
    We have, 28thMay, 2006
    2005 years + (1 January 2006 to 28 may 2006)
    For every 400 years, there are 0 odd days
    400 years × 5 = 2000 years in 0 odd days
    Now, 2001 to 2005 years
    Ordinary years have 1 odd days
    Leap years have 2 odd days.
    2001 to 2003 is ordinary years + 2004 leap year  + 2005 is ordinary year
    3 + 2 + 1 = 6 odd days
    Odd days in 2006 (up to 28th May):
    January → 31 days → 31 mod​ 7 = 3 odd days
    February (2006 is not a leap year) → 28 days → 28 mod 7 = 0 odd days
    March → 31 days → 31 mod 7 = 3 odd days
    April → 30 days → 30 mod 7 = 2 odd days
    May → 28 days (up to 28th) → 28 mod 7 = 0 odd days
    3 + 0 + 3 + 2 + 0 = 8 mod 7 = 1 odd day.
    Total odd days = 0 + 6 + 1 = 7 mod 7 = 0 odd days
    0 odd days correspond to Sunday
    Thus, the correct answer is (a)
