Even though 2008 is leap year the extra day will be added after Feb 28 but Jan 1 is before that so we just add 1 day of the given week. As given is monday. The next year same day of the week will be Tuesday (Monday+1).

Tuesday is the correct answer.

Adhi said:   3 years ago
The answer should be Wednesday.

Because 1jan 2007 till 1 Jan 2008 have Feb= 1odd day then 2008 is leap year so= 1odd day (since Feb is not included in 2008) so the answer should be Wednesday, right?

Jan. 1, 2007=Monday

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

So, the Ans is Tuesday.

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.
