On what dates of April, 2001 did Wednesday fall?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
We shall find the day on 1st April, 2001.
1st April, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1) = 91 days 
0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0

Odd days are after completion of a week/weeks any extra days we get are called odd days.
For example:
Take a year, one year contains 365 days (non leap year), divide it with 7
= 365/7
= 52+1 (meaning that 52 weeks + 1 odd days).

See Mr. Ravi, 2000=1600+400 (why because those are leap century years)
how is possible 91 is odd day.
See, 91/7 = 13weeks + 0 days.
I already said that extra days of a week are odd days. Here we have 0 days (so, we don't have odd days).
