Option B is correct because.

Leap year 2008 was not considered because 1 January was taken.

So, add +1.

Is it Tuesday or Wednesday?

Anyone, please explain the right answer clearly.

The correct answer is Wednesday.
Because one year gap +1 plus one leap year +1= +2.
Mon + 2 = Wednesday is the right answer.

Correct Explanation Hear!

If the given period includes February month with leap year then only the odd day will be == 2.

Otherwise, it will be an odd day == 1.

Here, the give question,

Period = 1, JAN, 2007 To 1, JAN, 2008.

Where only one February month (Feb/2007).

And 2007 is not a leap year so it has odd day = 1.

If given range 1, Feb, 2007 to 1, Feb, 2008.

Then hear 2 February include 1. Feb 2007 and Feb 2008 so total odd day =1+2 =3.

Thank you.

if you want to get the date before 1 march on the basis year to the year difference;

we had 1 Jan 2001 on Monday the date which is less than 1 March,
*Add (+2) just after the leap year*
Jan 1, 2001, day:-Monday
Jan 1 2002:-Tuesday (+1), Normal year,
Jan 1 2003:-Wednesday(+1) Normal year,
Jan 1 2004:-Thursday(+1) Leap year,
Jan 1 2005:-Saturday(+2)Normal year which just after leap year.

And we had 2 March 2001 on Friday the date which is Greater than (or Equals to) 1 March,
*Add (+2)in the leap year*,
March 2 2001:-Friday (+1), Normal year,
March 2 2002:-Saturday (+1), Normal year,
March 2 2003:-Saturday (+1), Normal year,
March 2 2004:-Monday (+2), Normal year,
March 2 2005:-Wednesday (+1), Normal year.

Jan. 1, 2007=Monday

Mon.- 2
Tue.- 3

Jan. 1, 2008 = 2+1=3.

So, the Ans is Tuesday.
