What was the day of the week on 17th June, 1998?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) 
1
97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.

In 1998.
i.e, 98 is a leap year so you should have to consider 29 days in Feb month but you hadn't considered it.

1600 + 300 + 97 + (J to March)+17.
0 + 1 + {24(leap year)+73(ordinary y)}+(3+0+3+2+3) + 17.
1 + (24 * 2 + 73 * 1) + 17.
150/7.
21 week + 4 odd days.
Then the Ans is Thursday.
0 + 1 + {24(leap year)+73(ordinary y)}+(3+0+3+2+3) + 17.
1 + (24 * 2 + 73 * 1) + 17.
150/7.
21 week + 4 odd days.
Then the Ans is Thursday.

Take 1996 is a leap yera so it has 2 odd days.
Then 1997 has 1 odd day so total odd day till 1997 is;
(2+1)= 3.
Then,
Add the date till 01-01-1998 to 17- 06- 1997 so the total,
The day is 168 days divided it by 7, 168%7 = 0 odd days so total odd says from 1996 to 17-06-1998 is 3 only do that the day is WEDNESDAY.
Then 1997 has 1 odd day so total odd day till 1997 is;
(2+1)= 3.
Then,
Add the date till 01-01-1998 to 17- 06- 1997 so the total,
The day is 168 days divided it by 7, 168%7 = 0 odd days so total odd says from 1996 to 17-06-1998 is 3 only do that the day is WEDNESDAY.
