Q:

What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?

A) Sunday B) Friday
C) Wednesday D) Tuesday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Sunday

Explanation:

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

 

(31[jan] + 28 [Feb]+ 31[Mar] + 30[April] + 28[May] ) = 148 dayss = (21 weeks + 1 day) = 1 odd day.

 

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 = 0 odd days.

 

Given day is Sunday
