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

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.

Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year. In your case 2006 is not divisible by 4, so it is not a leap year, hence it is an ordinary year.

One more thing is that; no century is a leap year...for example : 100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 700 and so on.......But every fourth century is a leap year...for example : 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 so on.........

Please go through the formulas from the following link :
