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.

Hello @Thiru thanks for your explanation but could you please make it a bit clear so that we can understand better because from where you got the second calculation i.e 1+28+6+1 ?

Keep year has 366 days so comparing to non keep year it has an extra day generally a non keep year has an odd day (non keep year has 365 days 364+1==365 so the last day is odd day) so keep year has 2 odd days.
