If 6th March, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 6th March, 2004?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.
But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005. So it has 1 odd day only.
The day on 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.
Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.
6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).

Step1: No.of odd days 2000=0.
Step2: No.of odd days 400=0.
Step3: No.of odd days (2001-2003)=3.
Step4: No.of odd days (Jan=31+Feb=29+march=6)=66-(9 weeks+3 days)=3. Total No.of odd days=0+0+3+3=6.
Monday=1.
6+1=7. Is 0 answer is Sunday.
Step2: No.of odd days 400=0.
Step3: No.of odd days (2001-2003)=3.
Step4: No.of odd days (Jan=31+Feb=29+march=6)=66-(9 weeks+3 days)=3. Total No.of odd days=0+0+3+3=6.
Monday=1.
6+1=7. Is 0 answer is Sunday.

1600 years ---> 0 odd days.
400 years -----> 0 odd days.
remaining 3 years ------> 3 ordinary years.
= 3 x 1 = 3 odd days.
Now 31(jan) + 29(feb leap year) + 6(march) = 66 days = 9 weeks and 3 odd days.
So, the total odd days = 0 + 3 + 3 = 6 odd days = Saturday.
So Why not I'm getting the given answer. Please clarify for me.

According to me, the actual answer is Saturday.

I guess it should be Saturday, as 2004 March is after Feb, so Feb gets automatically calculated while considering March, 2004 being the leap year, every day gets moved to another +1, thus 2005 March 6th should be a Saturday, (in total +2) logically, and based on calculation as well it gives Saturday.

No, 2004 is the leap year two odd days. So subtract 2 and Saturday is the correct the answer.

We are considering the odd days for 2004 as 1 than Why we didn't consider the odd days for Jan, Feb, upto Mar 6th?
