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.

If the remainder gets 1 then what is the week?
0 = sun
1 = Monday
2 = Tuesday
So on
Am I correct?
0 = sun
1 = Monday
2 = Tuesday
So on
Am I correct?

We have an easy method......
Follow this if you feel it simple :)
This is a easy code technique.
Year cheat code, Month cheat code and date cheat code are the three types.
YEAR CHEAT CODE
1600 to 1699 = 6
1700 to 1799 = 4
1800 to 1899 = 2
1900 to 1999 = 0
2000 to 2010 = 6
MONTH CHEAT CODE
Jan = 0
Feb = 3
Mar = 3
Apr = 6
May = 1
Jun = 4
Jul = 6
Aug = 2
Sep = 5
Oct = 0
Nov = 3
Dec = 5
DAY CHEAT CODE
Sunday = 0
Monday = 1
Tuesday = 2
Wednesday = 3
Thursday = 4
Friday = 5
Saturday = 6
Now lets take an example....
11/03/1997 which is my birthday
Step 1 : Take last two digits of the year = 97
Step 2 : Take the date = 11
Step 3 : Divide 97 by 4 and take the quotient = 24
Step 4 : Take the year cheat code = 0 (For the range 1900 to 1997)
Step 5 : Take the Month cheat code = 03
Now add all the results
97+11+24+00+03 = 135.
Divide the answer by 7 and consider the remainder = 2 (Subract 1 from this in case of leap year).
Which is the Cheat code for Tuesday, therefore the answer is Tuesday.

Why are we taking 1600 or 400?
How do we know what is the year code?
What is the basis of codes?
How are the codes arrived at?
Is there any formula or reasoning for arriving at the different codes for the Months, Days and a particularly century?
