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

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
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.

4 years are there so 365+365+366+365 here 366 means 2008 is a leap year so we take 1+1+2+1 It becomes 5

Here odd days means 365%7 = 1 and in 2008(leap year) so 366%7 = 2 even year.

In ordinary year there is 52 weeks and 1 day extra so that day is odd day for ordinary year ......for leap year 52 weeks and 2 odd day means 2 extra day.
