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.

Thanks vijaya

100=24 leap yr+[100-24]ordinary days
=[24*2]+76
=124
my way is
124=17weeks+5 ordinary days
So answer is 5.

But your way is very easy
124/7=5(remainder).

@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.

1st Jan 2006 - Sunday.
Next, 1/1/07- Monday.

2008 is a leap year so here we have 2 days extra, so 01/01/08 - Wednesday.

Next 01/01/2009 - Thursday.
so then,
01/01/2010 - Friday.

365 day = 1 year, day364/7days = 54weeks, balance 1 day that will be conce considered as ODD days.

If it is leap year total no of days for = 366, 364/7 = 54 weeks balnce 2 days.

How to find an leap year by seeing an year. Ex. 2006 is which year?is it leap year or ordinary year. If it is leap year how can we say it is leap year. If not how can we say not?

If instead of every fourth year, every third year is a leap year, then what day will it be on the 1st January 2020, of year 2013 is a leap year and 1st January 2013 is a Friday.

We want what day is jan 1,2010 for that

2000+9+jan1;
0+(9/4)+1
=(2+7)+1(2=leap year,7=non leap year)
=(2*2+7*1)+1
=4+7+1=12/7=5 odd days
= Friday
