Since 2008 is a leap year. It has 2 odd days, so if January 1, 2007 was Monday, then Jan. 1, 2008 should be 2 days beyond Monday, which is Wednesday.

Dec 31 2006 Sunday = 0 odd day.
2007 will produce = 1 odd day.
2008 Jan 1 = 1 odd day.
Total = (0+1+1) = 2 odd day.
Number 2 mentions Tuesday.
2007 will produce = 1 odd day.
2008 Jan 1 = 1 odd day.
Total = (0+1+1) = 2 odd day.
Number 2 mentions Tuesday.

The calendar of the year 2008 says that Jan 1 is Tuesday. And that is the right answer. I think @Suresh Reddy and @Hari are absolutely right.

Since 2008 is a leap year we should not count 2 odd days because the year was not completed.
2007:1 odd day.
Monday + 1 odd day = Tuesday.
2007:1 odd day.
Monday + 1 odd day = Tuesday.

2008=1600+400+8
1600=0 odd day
400 = 0 odd days
8 =8/4=2 leap year + 6 ordinary year
=2*2=4 + 6*1 =10
10/7=3 (Wednesday)

If january12007 was Monday then January 1 2008 is Wednesday because 2008 is a leap year and has 2 odd days?

Yes, the right Answer is Tuesday because when the leap year comes during calculation decrease one number before only February.

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

Yes, Tuesday is the right answer because in 2008 it was not crossed February. So only one odd day Monday + 1 = Tuesday.
