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 think the answer is Saturday.
Because,
2000 = 0 odd day
2001 = 1 odd day
2002 = 1 odd day
2003 = 1 odd day.
Total (2001-2003) = 3 odd days.
2004 [Jan(31) + Feb(29) + Mar(06) = 66 days.
; 66/7 = 9 weeks 3 odd days.
Total odd days = 0 +3 + 3 = 6.
So, 6 is Saturday.

2000 = 0 odd day
2001 = 1 odd day
