B. Friday

C. Saturday

D. Sunday

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) ≡ 6 odd days

Jan.         Feb.       March       April         May
(31     +     28     +     31     +     30     +     28 ) = 148 days

∴ 148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) ≡ 1 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 ≡ 0 odd day.
Given day is Sunday.
