Question:

If 5 August, 2005 was a Saturday, what day of the week was it on 3 August, 2004?

Explanation:

Let us count odd days from 3rd August, 2004 till 5th August, 2005.

Number of odd days from 3rd August, 2004 till 3rd August, 2005 is 1.

Then we have 2 more days from 3rd August, 2005 till 5th August, 2005.

∴ There are total 3 odd days from 3rd August, 2004 till 5th August, 2005

So, the day on 3rd August, 2004 + 3 days = Saturday
⇒ the day on 3rd August, 2004 = Saturday - 3 days = Wednesday.

Hence, option (d).
