    Answer : Option D

    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.
