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 don't have a clear idea about how to calculate the day for leap year by using simple tricks (ie) by using code for months.

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.

As cover a year i.e 365 days.
365/7 52 week and 1 day remaining.
So we can say before 1 day from monday i.e Sunday.

In this 6 mar 2004 - 6 mar 2005 the answer is (-1). So the answer is one day before i.e. Monday before is 'Sunday'.

We are considering the odd days for 2004 as 1 than Why we didn't consider the odd days for Jan, Feb, upto Mar 6th?

Since, March comes after Feb the one extra day in Feb will also get added. So, the correct answer is. Saturday.

Is this correct? Even though Feb is not included, 2004 is a leap year. So the answer should be Saturday.

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