It was Sunday on Jan 1, 2006. What was the day of the week Jan 1, 2010?

On 31st December 2009, it was Thursday.
Thus, on 1st Jan, 2010 it is Friday.

From 2010..... 2000 is a factor of 400.(A/C to leap year Formula).
Therefore Year 2000 is Leap year hence we get 0 odd days.
From remaining 10 Years we have,
8 Ordinary years and 2 leap years i.e.,(4th & 8th year).
=> 8*1 + 2*2 = 12 days.
12/7 = 1 week + 5 odd days.
A/C to formula 5th day represent Friday.

Simple in question we have 2006 Jan 1 to 2010 Jan 1.
Here 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.
In this number of odd days in each year is 1 but 2008 is is the leap year. So we can take extra one day so it is 2.
Then now total number of odd days is 6.
Now from Jan 1 2006 Sunday to 6th day of Jan 1 2010 is Friday.
I think it is helpful.
