The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.

The day on $${6}^{th}$$ March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on $${6}^{th}$$ March, 2004.

Given that, $${6}^{th}$$ March, 2005 is Monday.

$${6}^{th}$$ March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to $${6}^{th}$$ March, 2005).

2. How many days are there in x weeks x days?

A. Tuesday

Explanation –

The year 2004 is a leap year. It has 2 odd days.

The day on $${8}^{th}$$ Feb, 2004 is 2 days before the day on $${8}^{th}$$ Feb, 2005.

Hence, this day is Sunday.
