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.

@Soumya.

6th Aug is Thursday it means 2nd Aug is Sunday.
After every 7 days, the same day will fall.
2nd Aug, 9th Aug,16th Aug, 23th Aug, 30th Aug are Sunday. It means a total of 5 Sunday in Aug.

It is very simple remeber these 2 basic terms:

1)whenever we go from general year to general year or leap year then add 1.
2)whenever we go from leap year to general year then add 2.

Now come to question:

Given Jan 1 , 2006 was Sunday then;
Jan 1, 2010 = ?.

So here we go;

2006(general year) to 2007(general year)=1
2007(general year) to 2008(leap year)=1
2008(leap year) to 2009(general year)=2
2009(general year) to 2010(general year)=1

Adding them=1+1+2+1=5.
now Jan 1, 2010 = sunday+5= Friday.

Hope you guys got it. It's very simple method.

2006 = 1(odd day).
2007 = 1(odd day).
2008 = 2(odd days-it is a leap year).
2009 = 1(odd day).

Total = 5(odd days).

Monday=1
Tuesday=2
Wednesday=3
Thursday=4
Friday=5
Saturday=6
Sunday=7/0

So now we consider 5 as Friday.

@Deepika.

If the given year is a non-leap year then the first day is the same as the last day of the year.

For leap year last day will be the next day of the starting day of the year.

@All.

Simple tricks to find a leap year.

--The year not evenly divisible by 4 means-not a leap year.
--The year evenly divisible by 4(but not in 100 &400) means-is a leap year.
--The year evenly divisible by 4 and 100(but not in 400) means-not a leap year.
--The year evenly divisible by 4,100,400 means-is a leap year.
