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.

How to find number of leap years and ordinary years within a given number of years?
For example, in 100 years, 24 leap and 76 ordinary years.

@Gopi.
A leap year is always divisible by 4(if it is not a century).
Eg: 2004, 1676.
And every fourth century is a leap year.
Eg: 400, 800, 1200.
But 1800 is not a leap year.

@Harish:
2000, 2004, 2008 etc are leap year...2000/4 completely divisible...
These are having 366 days = 2 odd day..
Why because 366/7 = 52.1211 so 52 week = 364 days + 2(odd) extra days.
In-case of non leap year 365 days = 1 odd day.

Why are you taking nearest leaf year as 2000, 2004 is also leap year right?
Why don't you take 2004 as nearest leap year? Explain please.
