Total days passed from 8th Feb 2005 - 9th Feb 2004 is 366 days.
Therefore, the number of odd days is 2.
Meaning 9th Feb is a Wednesday(1 = Same day, 2 = Next day and so on). So, 8th Feb 2004 has to be Tuesday.

In this question, we are assuming that 2005 is not a leap year and 2004 as a leap year; every non-year odd days gets incremented by 1 and leap year increments by 2 the same subtract the odd days if you calculate in reverse order.

Considering our case we are calculating from 2005 to 2004 and since 2004 is a leap year subtract 2 days (i.e) Tuesday - 2 = Sunday.

@Shwetank Verma is correct it is Monday.

Hear in 2004 feb 8.

There is no need to sub extra odd day before feb 28. Because, we haven't crossed the extra day of year.

So subtracting 1 is correct i.e., Monday.
(1)

Leap year means extra day in year which is 366. Since 2004 is leap year it has already surpassed day which would have been Sunday if it wasn't leap year. Correct answer is Monday.
