Answer: Option
Explanation:

On 31st December, 2005 it was Saturday.

Number of odd days from the year 2006 to the year 2009 = (1 + 1 + 2 + 1) = 5 days.

On 31st December 2009, it was Thursday.

Thus, on 1st Jan, 2010 it is Friday.

Easy style to calculate this question.

jan 1, 2006 sunday.
jan 1, 2007 monday (+1 in day because 2007 is not leap year) .
jan 1, 2008 wendsay (+2 in day because 2008 is divisible by 4).
jan 1, 2009 Thursday (+1 in day because it is not leap year).
jan 1, 2010 Friday (+1 because it is not leap year).

If leap year then add 2 days otherwise 1 day will be add if and only if year is only changed and date will be same.

Don't confuse yaar just calculate.

Jan 1 2010 = (jan+2009)odd day calculation.

For 2009 no.of odd days are (2000+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)
(0+1+1+1+2+1+1+1+2+1) = 11/7 = 4 odd days.

For 1 Jan no.of odd days = 1 odd day.
So totally = (4+1) = 5 odd days.

5->Friday.

1 jan 2006 = Sunday count 1 .
1 jan 2007 = Monday count 1.
1 jan 2008 = Tuesday count 1.
1 jan 2009 = Thursday count 2 because 2008 is leap year(2008/4=0).
1 jan 2010 = Friday. Req. answer.

1 year = 365 days and 8 hours.

So after 3 year = 3*8 = 24 hours = 1 days.

2006/4, 2007/4, 2008/4, 2009/4 if remainder will zero that is the leap year.
