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.
Given day is Wednesday.

Leap year comes for every four years
The basic rule to know about leap year is that the year should be divisible by 4
For Eg: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20................100, 104 etc.,
Then here as per my knowldeged 25 leap years should exists for every 100 years.
why all are considering 24yrs in 100 years?
Need clarity on this.

According to my thinking:
97 years has 23 leap years not 24
because if in 100 years 24 leap years.
Then in this case from 1901 to 2000 the last one is leap is 2000, which we are not counting because we want to count from 1901 to 1997.
So please justify your answer.

@Juhi.
The centuries divisible by 400, like 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000...etc have 25 leap year and 75 ordinary years.
In given question we have to calculate from 1900 to 1997 therefore.
1998 - ordinary year.
1999 - ordinary year.
2000 - leap year.
So from 1901 to 1997 - ordinary years will be = 75-2 = 73.
And leap year will be = 25-1 = 24.
