Explanation:

Here we need to break days till 2^nd July 1184.

Complete years = 1183

Odd days in first 800 years = 0
Odd days in next 300 years = 1
Odd days in next 83 years (20 leap and 63 non-leap years) = 20 × 2 + 63 × 1 = 103.

∴ Odd days in complete years = 0 + 1 + 103 = 104 odd days.

∴ Odd days in complete years = Remainder (104 ÷ 7) = 6 odd days.

Incomplete year (1184, a leap year)

Jan + Feb + Mar = 0 odd days,
Apr + May + Jun = 0 = odd days,
Jul = 2

∴ Odd days in incomplete year = 0 + 0 + 2 = 2 odd days.

∴ Total odd days till 2^nd July 1184 = 6 + 2 = 8 = 1 odd day.

∴ Day of the week on 2^nd July 1184 will be 1 day after Sunday i.e., Monday.

Hence, option (d).
