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.

Odd days= (that particular year) /7, the remainder that you get is the no.of odd days in it.

In simple calculation.
28/7 = 4.
The answer is four then remainder is 0. So it was Sunday.

0 + 2 + 6 + 1 = 9,
9/7 reminder is 2,
2 + 6 = 8.
8/7 reminder 1.
So, it is Sunday = answer.
9/7 reminder is 2,
2 + 6 = 8.
