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

Pavitra, can you please explain for 1st jan 2008 as it is a leap year how to approach it. The example 16 may 2011 which you have given is for non leap year right.

Hi, you can do it easily follow my shortcut rule :-
jan = (1) = 3 jan = 31/7 = remain = 3
feb = (2)= 0 feb= 28/7 = remain = 0
march = (3)= 3
april = (4)= 2 april = 30/7 = reminder = 2
may = (5) = 3
june = (6) = 2
july = (7) =3 ====================================
aug = (8)= 3 (1 , 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12) = 3
sept = (9)= 2 ( 4, 6, 9, 11) = 2
oct = (10)= 3 2= 0 (Feb)
nov = (11) = 2
dec = (12) = 3 JUST REMEMBER ABOVE
jan = (1) = 3 jan = 31/7 = remain = 3
feb = (2)= 0 feb= 28/7 = remain = 0
march = (3)= 3
april = (4)= 2 april = 30/7 = reminder = 2
may = (5) = 3
june = (6) = 2

Hi friends,
There are 52 weeks in a year.And there are 7 days a week.So, the closest factor of 7 is 49.And 52-49=3.So after 49 days again there will be Sunday.So,add 3 days to Sunday that is Wednesday.Now similarly continuously add 3 days for 4 times as there is difference of 4 years between 2010 & 2006.
Therefore the ans is "FRIDAY".
