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.

Simple solution here is the trick. Just need to follow this step, guys this type of questions is very easy. But you.
Need to be perfect while solving.
First of all.
Month code.
Jan - 1.
Feb - 4.
Mar - 4.
Apr - 0.
May - 2.
June - 5.
July - 0.
August - 3.
September - 6.
October - 1.
November - 4.
December - 6.
Day code:
Sun - 1.
Mon - 2.
Tues - 4.
Wed - 5.
Thur - 7.
Fri - 8.
Sat - no decimal.
Now lets solve one example.
Example :- My DOB is 15th august 1989.
Step 1 - Take the last two digit of your birth year. Here in my case it is ' 89 '.
Step 2 - Now multiply the last two digit of birth year by "5".
89 x 5 = 445.
Step 3 - Now divide the result by "4".
445/4 = 111.25.
Step 4 - in this step remove the part of the result after decimal (RHS).
111.25 - remove 25.
Now we are having 111.
Step 5 - Now add the month code given above to this.
Month code for august is '3'.
So after adding.
3 + 111 = 114.
Step 6 - Now add the date of your birth. To this.
114 + 15 (15th august) = 129.
Step 7 - Don't worry this is the last step. ;-) ;-) ha ha.
Now finally divide this by '7'.
129/7 = 18.428.
Now we have got the final answer 18.428.
Now very important thing to remember. You have to look.
Upon the next digit after the decimal (right hand side).
In 18.428 the digit after the decimal is '4'.
Now go to the day code given above and see there '4' is for Tuesday. So answer is Tuesday.
15th august 1989 was a Tuesday.
Hope you all have understood this trick.
Note :- 1) I f in the " step 7 " you get no decimal than it is definitely " Saturday ". (see the day code column I have Already mentioned there " Saturday - no decimal ").
2) what to do if the date given is from leap year. Do the all step as it is, just.
Consider the earlier day.
Ex:- If at the last step you get " Friday " then Thursday will be your answer.
That's it. Just practice this steps you'll be perfect. Hope you all like this.

Hi, friends here I'm giving the simple trick to slice these type of questions:
First Remind these codes they are : Monthly Codes
Jan = 0 , Feb = 3 , March = 3
April= 6 , May = 1, June = 4
July = 6 , Aug = 2 , Sept = 5
Octo= 0 , Nov = 3, Dec = 5
Century codes :
Please observe carefully and Apply the century code for the question
1600 = 6 1500 = 0
1700 = 4. 1400 = 4
1800 = 2 1300 = 2
1900 = 0 1200 = 6
Again it repeats
2000 = 6
2100 = 4
2200 = 2
2300 = 0
Weekly codes :
Sun - 0
M-. 1
T- 2
W. 3
Th 4
F-. 5
Sa. 6
Question : 28- may -2016?
Here to get the answer apply a format
First,
28 is the date.
May code - 1.
Century code - 6.
Last 2 digits - 06.
And add to 2 last digits by 4.. that means 06 by 4 take the quotient that is 06/4 = quotient= 1 add to the above format
Format:
28+1+6+6+1 = 42
And lastly, divide by 7
42/7 = 6.
Here take remainder when we are divide by 7 remainder will be 0.
Then 0 is Called Sunday.

0 + 2 + 6 + 5 + 6 = 19/7 = 5 odd days which means Thursday.
