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.

Every 400 years we consider as 0.
So 1200,1600,2000,2400 years take it as 0 value.

When we divide the number of days of a year with 7 it gives the number complete weeks in that year,and the reminder of this gives the number of days which are remaining in the year.these days are called as odd days (i.e.an incomplete week).
One year = number of complete weeks+number of odd days.
One year = number of complete weeks+number of odd days.
