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.

Why 1600 and 400?
Because 1200 is min leap year 1300 in not leap year same 1400, 1500 also not a leap year 1600 is a leap year and the max leap year is 2000. Therefore all problems we get 1600.
Here, 2001 = 1600 + 400 (1600 is leap year so 0 odd day & 400 is also leap year therefore 0 odd days).

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

Without taking any base day how would I say 0 = Sunday?

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?

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.

Can I know why there is a need of odd days in years 1600, 400?

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 here the 91(It should be 90) days calculation is wrong.
we must not take April day since we have to find that one and we already take all the days from the start of 1st year to 1.4.2001. THEN April 1st is Sunday.
