In 100 year we find leap year & non leap year first.
We take 99 years because 100th years is continues.
In 100/4 we get 24 leap year & 99-24=76 is normal yard.
In leap year we get 2 odd days,
In non-leap yard we get 1 odd day, Like this we can find leap the non leap years.

@Revathi. Divide by 4 is Leap Year.
This is Simple. Example 1st January 2014 is Sunday, then next year same date 1st january 2015 will be Monday.
Similarly, 1st January 2016 will be Tuesday.
Now, 2016 is leap year. So if the question asks what was the day on 1st January 2017 then it will increase by two days i.e Thursday.
