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.

Ans :-
Step 1 ; how many years we have between 2006 to 2010 = 2006 - 2010 =4.
Step 2 ; per year 365 so if we divide by weeks = 365/7 = 52.1 that means 52weeks 1ood days.
Step 3 ; So every 4th year we have an extra day that we call leap year means 366 days again if we divide by weeks = 366/7 = 52.2 in this 2 ood days we have.
Step 4; 2006 = 1.
For 2007 = 1.
For 2008 = 1.
For 2009 = 2 (1+1+1+2 = 5days).
Step 5;
1 jan 2006 = Sunday count 1 .
1 jan 2007 = Monday count 1.
1 jan 2008 = Tuesday count 1.
1 jan 2009 = Wednesday & Thursday count 2 because as per our count it is leap year(2days extra).
1 jan 2010 = answer is Friday.

If a month has 31 days, Then we have 3 ODD DAYS.

If a month has 30 days, Then we have 2 ODD DAYS.

In this question, we can apply formula.

f = k + (13 * m-1)/5+D D/4+C/4-2C.

In 400 consecutive years, there are 97 leap years. Hence in 400 consecutive years, February has the 29th day 97 times. How was 97 leap year gotten?
