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

code for Wednesday is 4.
A week has 7 days;
So,
1). 4
2). 4+7 = 11.
3). 11+7 = 18.
4). 18+7 = 25.
So the answer is 4, 11, 18, 25.

Odd days means the leftover days.
I will explain with an example;
Find how many odd days are there in 25 days?
So, The answer would be 4.
How?
7 days means 1 complete week and in 25 days we have 3 complete weeks that is up to the 21st day.
The remaining 4 days are odd days because it is not a complete one week.

Simple method:
Firstly, I would like to thanks Deena, and remember the month code for Wednesday is 4
(-i.e,Sunday=1 Monday=2 ...continues upto Saturday takes=7(or)0).
We want Wednesday dates, from month code start.
Wednesday=4.
4+7=11(7days repeated),
11+7=18,
18+7=25,
The answer is 4,11,18,25.

2001-january-1 day is Monday.
So, 2001-April 1st is Sunday.
How is that possible?
Ans) Century code: 6 (2001)
Month code: 0 (January)
Year : 01
Leap years : 0
Date : 1
Total = 8.
So, finally 8÷7=1 (Monday) - January
April 1st = 30days + 0 + 3 + 1 = 34.
= 34÷7 = 6 odd days (Monday + 6odddays).
So, April 1st Sunday.
April 4th Wednesday.
So, 2001-April 1st is Sunday.
How is that possible?
Ans) Century code: 6 (2001)
Month code: 0 (January)
Year : 01
Leap years : 0
Date : 1
Total = 8.
So, finally 8÷7=1 (Monday) - January
April 1st = 30days + 0 + 3 + 1 = 34.
= 34÷7 = 6 odd days (Monday + 6odddays).
So, April 1st Sunday.
April 4th Wednesday.

Simple method:
Use this formula:
Day +month.no +(x-1900)+(x-1900)/4.
let day=Sunday=1.
1+0+(2001-1900)+(2001-1900)/4.
1+0+101+25 ; 101/4=25.25 take the whole number (25 only).
127/7=18 reminder 1 which represents day Sunday.
This means that if Sunday is 1 then Wednesday is 4 therefore,
Option D is right.
