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


  • Options
  • A. Thursday
  • B. Friday
  • C. Saturday
  • D. Sunday

  • Correct Answer
  • 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

    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.
