What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) 
6 odd days
Jan. Feb. March April May (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 28 ) = 148 days
148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) 1 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 0 odd day.
Given day is Sunday.

@Priya suppose take the month of January, in this month you have 31 days right where 7 days in a week and 31/7 (3 will be quotient) 3 is nothing but odd days.

In 1 year there are 365days which year is non leap year.
365/7(to calculate number of weeks)
=52 is quotient and 1 is reminder(this is odd day)
This means for a non leap year there are 52 weeks and 1day.
