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

Only takes a remainder number of year.

As 2006-1
2007-1
2008-2
2009-1.
Total remainders number=5.
Then, Sunday from 5 days next Friday.

Hi,

Jan 1 2006 is sun.

Jan 1 2010 is ---date is same, year is different so if you are going general year to leap year add +1 days (leap to general add +2 days).

So 2007 is mon, 2008 is a leap year (divisible by 4) so add 2 days i.e. wed, 2009 is thus, 2010 is Friday.

If 3-March-2018 is Thursday.

Then 03-March-2008 which day will come?

Desu said:   6 years ago
On a fix particular date, as the year increases by one unit, the day also increases by one unit, Except for leap year where the day is increased by two units.

So coming to the problem:

On particular date 1 Jan.
Day- sun and year-2006.

So on increasing year by one unit.
Year - Day
2007 -.Monday.
2008. - Tuesday.
2009 - Thursday (when leap year is increased by one unit days Will be increased by two units)
2010 - Friday.
