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).

2005 - 2004 + 1 (leap year) = 2/7.
= 2 remainder.
So, back to two days and it's a Saturday.
= 2 remainder.
So, back to two days and it's a Saturday.

Yes, its Sunday. The shortcut to remember is that after every leap year (only after Feb month) the day of the month increases by 1 then its previous year.
Eg. 6 mar 2002 - Wed => Jan1 2002-Tue.
6 mar 2003 - Thurs => Jan1 2003- Wed.
6 mar 2004 - Fri => Jan1 2004- Thu (2004 IS A LEAP YEAR).
6 mar 2005 - Sat => Jan1 2005- Sat.
Eg. 6 mar 2002 - Wed => Jan1 2002-Tue.
6 mar 2003 - Thurs => Jan1 2003- Wed.
6 mar 2004 - Fri => Jan1 2004- Thu (2004 IS A LEAP YEAR).
6 mar 2005 - Sat => Jan1 2005- Sat.

Saturday is the correct answer for 6 March 2004.
Sunday is correct on 6 March 2005.
So they just added 1 to confuse from Saturday to Sunday and from Sunday to Monday respectively.
