Answer: Option B. -> 20th
Given Today is 20th January 2017, Sunday
In january, we have 31 days
February - 28 days (Non leap year)
March - 31 days
April - 30 days
⇒ Remaining days = 31 - 20 = 11 in Jan
11 in Jan + 28 in Feb + 31 in Mar = 11 + 28 + 31 = 70 days
More 20 days to complete 90 days ⇒ upto 20th April
Therefore, after 90 days from today i.e, 20th Jan 2017 is 20th Apr 2017.
Now, the day of the week will be
$$\frac{{90}}{7}$$ ⇒ Remainder '6'
As the day starts with '0' on sunday
6 ⇒ Saturday.
Required day is 20th April, Saturday.

Answer: Option A. -> Wednesday
The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
So, the day on 24th Nov, 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day on 24th Nov, 2006.
But, 24th Nov, 2007 is Thursday.
24 - 10 = 14 days.
Therefore, 2 weeks ago it is same day.
Thus, 10th Nov, 2006 is one day before 10th Nov, 2007 i.e. it is Wednesday.

Answer: Option A. -> Sunday
The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.
But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005. So it has 1 odd day only.
∴ The day on 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.
Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.
∴ 6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).

Answer: Option D. -> 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
We shall find the day on 1st April, 2001.
1st April, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1) = 91 days ≡ 0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0
On 1st April, 2001 it was Sunday.
In April, 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.

Answer: Option D. -> Saturday
This is a leap year.
So, none of the next 3 years will be leap years.
Each ordinary year has one odd day, so there are 3 odd days in next 3 years.
So the day of the week will be 3 odd days beyond Wednesday i.e. it will be Saturday
