A. Thursday
B. Friday
C. Saturday
D. Sudnay
Answer: Option D
Explanation: 28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) = 6 odd days
Jan. Feb. March April May
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 28 ) = 148 days
148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) = 1 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 = 0 odd day.
Given day is Sunday.
