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).

Find 6 March 2004 what will the Day ?
So, 2004 we consider last two digit then 04 also than add in 100 ; 100+04=104 i.e 26.
Again we add 104+26(and given Month is March so a.c to this we can add 3) +03+(given date is 06);
FInally add: 104+26+03+06 = 139.
Again 139 is divided by 7;
So 139/7 remainder is 06.
Result is 0 is Sunday, 01 Mon, 02,Tues, 04 wed, 05 Thu; 06 sat;
So final ans is 06 (Saturday).
Thank You.

Saturday is not correct as it is mentioned 6th March 2005 is Monday (and this is imaginary and not taken from any actual date from the calendar). So 6th March 2004 will be accordingly an imaginary date and can't be counted using controversial odd day count method.
I think it will be helpful. Thank you.

How can we simply ignore the fact that 2004 was a leap year?
How would we know when to ignore it and when to consider it?

Year 2004 was a leap year so we went 2 days before for that same date of the previous year so the answer was Saturday.

I also think the answer is wrong.
Because,
No of odd days in 2000 years = 0.
No of odd days in 3 years= 3.
No of odd days till 6th March, 2004 = 3 (66/7; the remainder is 3).
So, the total number of odd days= 6.
So, I think the answer must be Saturday.

Even though feb 2004 was not included it should be 2 odd days because from previous calculations it is not considered yet the correct answer.
