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.

@Ajay.
If you divide 1600 and 400 by 4 then reminder is nothing that's why odd days are zero. If reminder is 1 then odd day=1 and if reminder is 2 then odd days=2 is it ok ?.
