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
On 1st April, 2001 it was Sunday.
In April, 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.

Guys it is easy to find solution to this problem by formula.
Day = Date+Month code+(x-1990)+(x-1990)/4.
Here given day is Wednesday it's code is 4 so now 4 = Date+0+101+25.
4 = Date+126.
You should get (date+126)/7 you should get 4 by trail and error method if you substitute any one day you will know the answer.
Day = Date+Month code+(x-1990)+(x-1990)/4.

Why we exclude the odd days of 2000, which is 2?
Then according to it answer may be (0+0+2+0). Right?
Please solve my doubt.

Day = date + month code + year code+ number of year+ number of normal year÷ 7.
Month code:
January = 1
February =4
March =0
April = 2
June =5
July =0
August =3
September =6
October =1
November =4
December = 6
Year code:
1900 - 1999 = 0.
2000 - 2099 = 6.
Day = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 ÷ 7 = remember = 4.
Day code:
Sunday = 1
Mon = 2
Tuesday = 3
Wednesday = 4 to Saturday = 6 or 0.
Month code:
January = 1
February =4
March =0
April = 2
June =5
July =0
August =3
September =6
October =1
November =4
December = 6
Year code:
1900 - 1999 = 0.
2000 - 2099 = 6.
Day = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 ÷ 7 = remember = 4.
Day code:
Sunday = 1
Mon = 2
Tuesday = 3
Wednesday = 4 to Saturday = 6 or 0.

Hi, please explain what is odd days.. Is it some blind formula? and also how did you take 1600; and 91 is also odd day I think. So please give me your response.

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).
