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.

If in the last step I get "6" which day I consider, because you don't give no week day for "6".

Yes revathi I'm agree with you. Pavithra your example is wrong.
2006-1900=106 its not 16. If ok can you explain.

Can someone please explain 'mathematically' the solution for this problem and not by codes. Thanks in advance.

I think there should be (2000+6) year+jan Feb, Mar, April and 28 May. It gives 1 odd day and answer is Monday.

@Dechen.
Simply we need to come till 2006 so,
Means 1600+400 = 2000.
Then remaining 2001, 2002, ....2006.

Guys simply follow Deena's method. It is very simple and applicable for all kind of problems in calendars.

@Deena.
What we write instead for 1900 if the date is 13 may 1666
For = 28+2+(2006-1900)+(2006-1900)/4.

Day = date +month code +century code + year + leap year ÷ 7.
Day = 28+2+6+6+1÷7 = 1.
And 1 = Sunday.
Day = 28+2+6+6+1÷7 = 1.
And 1 = Sunday.
