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).

The Correct answer is Sunday because this is calculate only 2005 march - 2004 march not included February.
For example; if the year consider leap year the February month 29 day.
But if the year consider non leap year the February month 28 days only.
Therefore 2005 is non leap year and this contains only 1 odd day.
But 2004 is leap year therefore this year contains 2 odd day but February month not included therefore this month same 1 odd days i.e Monday - 1= Sunday.

No it's not include leap year 2 odd days in this question.
@All.
Just think about it this way 1 year = 1 odd day and 1 leap year = 2 odd days because February is 29 days.
So 2 odd days but in this case 2004 is also a leap year the question started on March 6th so January and February is not needed in this question so remaining only one odd day in this year Sunday is the answer, not Saturday.

There we need to follow 6 steps
1. Last two digits of the year in given is 04
2. Divide by 4 of the year is 01
3. Take the date in given is 06
4. Take the month in given is 03 (according to the formulas)
5. Take the year in given is 06.
(Add all the values - 04+01+06+03+06=20).
6. Divided by 7 of the values of 20 is 06
Here 06 is the value but we have one odd day in the year, let we add that the odd day in it is 06+01 = 07.
Hence the answer is 07 which means it is Sunday.
(*0 or 07 is same)

It is correct!
If you calculate the day on 6th March 2005 then it is actually Sunday but in question given that it is Monday. It means there is +1 with the actual date. Similarly When we calculate 6th march 2004 then it will be Saturday but according to the condition provided in question we have to add +1 then it will be Sunday. That's why Sunday is the right answer.

Saturday is the right answer.
Solution: 6 March 2004
cc+yc+mc+d.
6+5+3+6 = 20/7= 6 which is Saturday.
Solution: 6 March 2004
cc+yc+mc+d.
6+5+3+6 = 20/7= 6 which is Saturday.

Solve - 6th march 2004.
March = 25/4 = 1
April = 30/4 = 2
May = 31/4 = 3
June = 30/4 = 2
July = 31/4 = 3
August = 31/4 = 3
September = 30/4 = 2
October = 31/4 = 3
November = 30/4 = 2
December = 31/4 = 3
6th March = 2005
January = 31/4 = 3
February = 28/4 = 0
6 day consider or march
=1+2+3+2=8(8-7=1), 1+3+3=7(7-7=0), 0+2+3+2=7, (7-7=0), 0+3+3+2=8, (8-7=1) Now we add 6 days of march 2005.
6+1 = 7(7-7 = 0) 0 Means Sunday.
March = 25/4 = 1
April = 30/4 = 2
May = 31/4 = 3
June = 30/4 = 2
July = 31/4 = 3
August = 31/4 = 3
September = 30/4 = 2
October = 31/4 = 3
November = 30/4 = 2
December = 31/4 = 3
6th March = 2005
January = 31/4 = 3
February = 28/4 = 0
6 day consider or march
=1+2+3+2=8(8-7=1), 1+3+3=7(7-7=0), 0+2+3+2=7, (7-7=0), 0+3+3+2=8, (8-7=1) Now we add 6 days of march 2005.
6+1 = 7(7-7 = 0) 0 Means Sunday.

See, because we have to count from 6th march to 6th march, (2004 is leap year just because of Feb so the extra one day is not included).
So we have to count between 1 year means 365 days.
So 365/7 = 52 as qt and 1 as remainder so basically we have to move back one day from the given day which is Sunday.
