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).

@Anil.
But 6 march 2005 was not Monday in orig calendar but actually it was Sunday while 6 march 2005 was Sunday and 2004 it was sat so logically correct and the answer is Sunday.

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.

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.
