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.

x+2+1+25+6 = 3.
x+34-3 = 0.
x+31 = 0.
x+28+3 = 0 (28/7 = 0).
x+3 = 0.
4+3 = 7 = 0 (7/7 = 0).
x = 4, 11, 18, 25.

When to take 28 days or 29 days in (31+28+31+1) means when will we take 29 in place of 28?

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

@Masthan.

Please explain this. It's very short. But how to do this?

x+2+1+25+6 = 3.
x+34-3 = 0.

x+31 = 0.
x+28+3 = 0 (28/7 = 0).

x+3 = 0.
4+3 = 7 = 0 (7/7 = 0).

x = 4, 11, 18, 25.
