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

So,we have to calculate the day that falls on 28th May 2006.

At first we have to find the odd days.

1)28
To find the odd days for 28 divide by 7
We get 0 odd days.

2)May
To find the odd days for may ,we should know the odd days of the months.
Jan- 31 days divide it by 7 we get the remainder 3 so, for Jan we have 3 odd days.
Similarly,

Feb-0 for ordinary years and 1 for leap years.
Mar-3
Apr-2
May-3
June-2
July-3
Aug-3
Sept-2
Oct-3
Nov-2
Dec-3
To find the odd days for may we add the odd days up to Apr.
Then 3+0(as 2006 is not a leap year)+3+2=8 divide it by 7 we get a remainder 1.

3) 2006
Take 2005, nearest leap century year is 2000+5 for 2000 0 odd days, and for 5 years there is a leap year.
1×2 = 2
4×1 = 4
Total = 6 odd days
Add all odd days.
0 + 1 + 6 = 7 ÷ 7 = 0.
Therefore the answer is SUNDAY.
