What will be the day of the week 15th August, 2010?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
15th August, 2010 = (2009 years + Period 1.1.2010 to 15.8.2010)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
9 years = (2 leap years + 7 ordinary years) = (2 x 2 + 7 x 1) = 11 odd days 
4 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June July Aug. (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15) = 227 days
227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) 3 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 4 + 3) = 7 0 odd days.
Given day is Sunday.

@Bidhya. When 7 is divided by 7 it gives remainder as 0. So odd days = 0.

Instead of taking 2000 as reference can we take 2008 as it is also a leap year and closer to 2009?

2000 to 2010 having 10 years.
In which 3 leap year (2000-01), (2004-05), (2008-09) & 7 normal years.
3 leap years have 6 odd days (3 years * 2 odd days) = 6 odd day.
Remaining 7 year having 7 odd day (individually 1) & for year (2010-11).
January February March April May June July Aug.
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15) = 227 days.
No of odd day = 227/7 = Remainder is 3.
So total odd days are 3+6+7 = 16.
Now 16/7, remainder is 2.
So Tuesday will come.
So how answer will come (Sunday)?
