@Priyanka

Don't add 1st Jan 2008 in your calculation. (2nd Jan 2008 to 1st Jan 2009) in total 366 days, hence 2 odd days.

@Bilal you are wrong.

According to 2009 calender it's Thursday.

Bilal Mallick said:   9 years ago
All of you are incorrect. Look, the rule on the calendar is that when a year divisible by 4 starts on a Tuesday is NOT a leap year.

January 1, 2008, was a Tuesday, Tuesday + 1= Wednesday. January 1, 2009, was a Wednesday (absolutely correct).

Bilal said:   9 years ago
That is completely incorrect. 2008 was a common year because it started on a Tuesday. That means January 1 2009 was a Wednesday.

2009-2008 = 1.
And 1 leap year.

So,1+1 = 2.
Tuesday+2 = Thursday (correct).

The year 2011is not a leap year but the 2012 is a leap year.
So the odd day is 2.
And the day will be 2 day beyond Wednesday is Monday.

The year 2011 is not a leap year, so it has only 1 odd day.

So, 1 day beyond wednesday, answer is thursday.
