Solution
We shall find the day on 1st April, 2001
1st April 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March. April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1) = 91 days ⇒ odd days
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0
It was Sunday on 1st April, 2001
Therefore,
Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th in April 2001
Hence, the correct option is (d)
