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 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.

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.

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.

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.
