Answer

A

Explanation

The year 1966 was a Leap Year. Number of days remaning in the 1996. `=366-26=340` days
=48 weeks 4 odd days. 1997, 1998 and 1999 together have 3 odd days. 2000 was a Leap year. Days upto 15yh August 2000
`31+29+31+30+31+30+31+15=229` 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. i.e., Tuesday.
