Answer

A

Explanation

The year 1996 was a Leap Year. Number of days remaining in the 1996
= 366 - 26 = 340 day
s = 48 weeks 4 odd days
1997, 1998 and 1999 together have 3 odd days.
2000 was a Leap year Days upto 15th August 2000
31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 = 228 days
` 228/7 ` = 32 weeks 4 odd days
Now, total number of odd days = 4 + 3 + 4 = 11
`11/7` =1 week 4 odd days
15th August 2000 was 4 days beyond Friday, .ie., Tuesday.
