What was the day of the week on 17th June, 1998?

Options:
A .  Monday
B .  Tuesday
C .  Wednesday
D .  Thursday
Answer: Option C

17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)


Odd days in 1600 years = 0


Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) \(\equiv\) 1


97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.


Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.


Jan.  Feb.   March    April    May      June


(31 +  28  +  31   +   30   +   31   +   17) = 168 days


So, 168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.


Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.


Given day is Wednesday.
