On 8th Dec, 2007 Saturday falls. What day of the week was it on 8th Dec, 2006?
Answer: Option

The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
So, the day on 8th Dec, 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day on 8th Dec, 2006.
But, 8th Dec, 2007 is Saturday.
8th Dec, 2006 is Friday.

When the year becomes less than, we should subtract like 2007 from 2006.
When the year becomes greater, we should add like 2006 from 2007.
When the year becomes greater, we should add like 2006 from 2007.

Step1:No.of odd days 2000=0.
Step2:No.of odd days 2001 to 2005=2+4=6.
Step3: No.of odd days-jan to Dec-8=342 (48 weeks+6 days=6.
Total No.of odd days=0+6+6=12/7=5 odd days 5 odd number is Friday. The answer is Friday.

The tricks say;
Find the difference of year 2007-2006 = 1.
And no of leap year between this two year is zero then,
0+1=1.
Then,
Saturday + 1 day = Sunday.

There will be 2 odd days in 8 december 2006 to 31 december 2006.
31-8 = 23/7 = remainder = 2.
How there will be 1 odd days?
31-8 = 23/7 = remainder = 2.
How there will be 1 odd days?
