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.

Anyone tell why we consider 300 & 1600 years only. Why don't we consider 400 or other than that?

But why we are calculating odd days of 300? And what the role of it? Please make me understand.

First divide that no by 4.
200/4 = 50 is the leap year.
And 200-50 = 150 is the ordinary year.
200/4 = 50 is the leap year.
And 200-50 = 150 is the ordinary year.

How we got 24 leap year in 100 year.
It should be 100/4 = 25.
Why not 25? but 24.
It should be 100/4 = 25.
Why not 25? but 24.
