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).

It should be a Saturday.
= (D+M+Y+LP)/7.
= (6+3+104+26)/7,
= 139/7.
= 6 that is Saturday.
= (D+M+Y+LP)/7.
= (6+3+104+26)/7,
= 139/7.

@All.
Note : Their is "if" Written in question,
Means we need to assume that in
6th march, 2005 is Monday.
Points to remember:-
1)
5th march, 2004 --- 6th march 2005 is
Equivalent to 1 year.
Means starting day and ending day is
Same for basic year.
Thus;
5th march 2004=6th march 2005= Monday.
For basic year;
6th march 2004 = Monday -1= Sunday.
Here, 1 means one day back.
2) For leap year.
Monday-2
Read question carefully,
If it is written in question that 2000 is not a leap year,
Then we need to assume it.
Hope it will help you.
