ANSWER: Sunday
Explanation:
15th August 2010 can be written as 2009 + days from 1st January 2010 to 15th August 2010.
=> Total number of odd days in 400 years = 0
Hence, total number of odd days in 2000 years = 0 (as 2000 is a perfect multiple of 400)
Odd in days in the period 2001-2009:
7 normal years + 2 leap yeas
=> (7*1) + (2*2) = 11
=> Odd days will be 11- (7*1) = 4
Days from January 1 to August 15 in 2010: 31+28+31+30+31+30+31+15
= 227 days.
= 32 weeks and 3 days, this gives additional 3 odd days.
=> Total odd days= 3+4=7
=> 7 odd days=1 week= 0 odd days
=> 0 odd days= Sunday
Thus, 15th August 2010 was a Sunday.
