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

Hi kannana. For every 400 years you get 0 odd days. Keep remember. 2000=400+400+400+400+400.
=0+0+0+0+0.
=0.
=0+0+0+0+0.
=0.

Why do they take 1600 and 400 every time they solve a problem and in some case 300 years and 1600?

If 0 means Sunday and 4th will be Thursday right?
Then Why you take Wednesday as a 4th date?
Then Why you take Wednesday as a 4th date?

I think 4th April, 2001 comes to be Friday. So the correct answer will be 2nd April series.
