Solution
The correct option is D Friday
In this question, the reference point is May 10, 1997 and we need to find the number of odd days from May 10, 1997 up to Oct 10, 2001.
Now, from May 11, 1997 - May 10, 1998 = 1 odd day
May 11, 1998 - May 10, 1999 = 1 odd day
May 11, 1999 - May 10, 2000 = 2 odd days (2000 was leap year)
May 11, 2000 - May 10, 2001 = 1 odd day
Thus, the total number of odd days up to May 10, 2001 = 5.
The remaining 21 days of May will give 0 odd days. In June, we have 2 odd days; in July, 3 odd days; in August, 3 odd days; in September,2 odd days and up to 10th October, we have 3 odd days. Hence, total number of odd days = 18 i.e. 4 odd days.
Since, May 10, 1997 was a Monday, and then 4 days after Monday would be Friday. So, Oct 10, 2001 was Friday.
