4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
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

On 1st April, 2001 it was Sunday.

In April, 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.

Because particular day of April was not given so we have to check out that the April 2001 starts from which day of the week?
Rajesh veeranki said:   7 years ago
Here, present year 2001.

But we take a number of completed years.

Here just know the week on that data we have to choose Wednesday and +7 next repeated.

I hope you understand.
