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).

6-mar-2004.
=> (2000 + 4) + jan + feb + 6 days.
0 odd days + 2 odd days + 31 + 29 + 6.
=> total odd days = 68.
=> 68/7 =9 weeks + 5 0dd days.
=> given sum is 6th - mar - 2005 is monday, monday + 5 odd days = saturday.
=> (2000 + 4) + jan + feb + 6 days.
0 odd days + 2 odd days + 31 + 29 + 6.
=> total odd days = 68.
=> 68/7 =9 weeks + 5 0dd days.
=> given sum is 6th - mar - 2005 is monday, monday + 5 odd days = 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.

2004 year last two digit is less than 100.
Add 100 in last digit 104 gives than 104/4 gives 26.
Then 104+26+3+6=139/7=rem (6) so the day will be 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.

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.
