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).

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.
Am I right?

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?

No, Sunday is correct answer because in question they give 6th march 2005 is Monday. So we start from Mon as 0, Tues as 1,.. Sun as 6.

I think the correct answer is Saturday, because 2004 is divisible by 4. Then the next year may be leap year. Leap year has 2 odd days. Then subtract 2 days. Then answer is Saturday.

No we can start sun as 0, Monday as 1...6 as Saturday.

Its should be Saturday !!
2000 = ( 0 Odd days )
2003 = ( 3 Odd days )
2004 = (Jan 31 + FEB 29 + March 6 = 66 )
66/7 = 63 ( 3 odd days )
Total = 0+3+3 = 6
Its Saturday!!!!
2000 = ( 0 Odd days )
2003 = ( 3 Odd days )
2004 = (Jan 31 + FEB 29 + March 6 = 66 )
66/7 = 63 ( 3 odd days )
Total = 0+3+3 = 6
Its Saturday!!!!
