How you got 24 leap years in 100 years ?

Odd days came as 5 so it should be Friday not Thursday. We take Sunday as 0. So if we start it from Sunday then till the counting of 5 it should come as Friday.

Hi friends,

2005 1st Jan is sunday,
31st Dec 2005 is Saturday,
2006, 2007, 2008 (Leap Year), 2009.

2008 is leap year- add 2 No.

Other is 3 No(2006, 2007, 2009).

So you add + 5 days.

That mean Its day is Friday
