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

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

Given 1 Jan 2010.
Add date and year of the last 2 digits.
1+10=11 this is the equation (1).
Divide by 4 last 2 digits of the year.
10/4=2 equation(2).
Here we take only coefficient. Don't take reminder.
In 1st the codes to take the code and add equation 1 & 2.and divide by 7.
11+2+0/7=5.
Here we take reminder.
