Explanation: Calculate the odd days for the completed months: Jan (3) + Feb (0) + Mar (3) + Apr (2) + May (3). Total = 11 odd days. 11 mod 7 leaves a final remainder of exactly 4 odd days. Let me update the correct option to 4.
#1805
If 1st January 2007 was Monday, what day of the week lies on 1st January 2008?
(a) Monday
(b) Tuesday
(c) Wednesday
(d) Sunday
Explanation: The year 2007 is an ordinary year with 365 days, which translates to exactly 1 odd day. Thus, the same date in the subsequent year shifts forward by one day. Monday + 1 = Tuesday.

If 4th November 2024 is a Saturday, what will be the day on 4th November 2025?
(a) Sunday
(b) Monday
(c) Tuesday
(d) Wednesday
Explanation: Wait, 2024 is a leap year, but February 29th has already passed by November. Moving from Nov 2024 to Nov 2025 crosses February 2025, which has 28 days (ordinary year). This is 365 days, yielding 1 odd day. Wait, my option logic was Monday? Saturday + 1 = Sunday. Let me correct the options to have Sunday as correct.
#1807
If 10th January 2004 is a Tuesday, what will be the day on 10th January 2005?
